Plot

Set during the Qing dynasty of China, a young monk, Lin Zhi-Ming, trains to be one of the Northern Shaolin school's best fighters, whose skills impresses his elders and classmates. Zhi-Ming is revealed to have been orphaned at a young age and was raised by the temple, with only a silver ankle bracelet being the only reminder of his past life; Zhi-Ming continues to wear this band during his years of training but in secrecy from the temple's elders. Although being a devout student of Shaolin, Zhi-ming has the tendency to break many of the monastery's rules, such as sneaking in meat to temple grounds or teaching the school's secrets to outsiders. On one such occasion of the latter, Zhi-Ming meets some of the local youth, the same who he has unofficially accepted as his disciples; but in a meeting, two of the youths reveal to have been chosen to perform Lion dancing at the birthday of the tyrannical magistrate He Suo, who was responsible for the deaths of Zhi-ming's family. Determined to get his revenge, Zhi-ming persuades the youth to let him perform the Lion dancing instead.
