PLOT
The notorious Bandits of Shantung have been terrorizing the countryside and have now set their sights on a new target, a guarded consignment of gold on its way through a small village. The local inhabitants catch wind of this and flee, leaving the small cluster of shops and homes empty save for a lone tea house owner and several strangers who have just arrived. Among them is a swordsman named Yen Tieh-i (Chang Yi), two amateur thieves, and three more would-be thieves known as 'The Heroes of Chieh'. The two thieving parties argus over how to split the gold until several advance members of the Shantung bandits arrive. Bandit Wu (Sammo Hung) tosses bells onto their heads and orders them into formation, with the understanding that anyone who drops a bell will be killed. When the bandits try to use the same treatment on Yen, they find themselves in an all-out battle. When Yen's girl, Ling Ling, is kidnapped by the bandits who also desire revenge for the death of their comrades, Yen forces the arriving escort to use their gold consignment as bait to draw out the bandits so that he can get his girl back and make mincemeat out of the bandits.
