Synopsis :
The only thing between all the clan leaders and certain death is one young woman, Kara Hui Ying-Hung. If anyone can save them, it's her, with the help of "Thundering Mantis" star Leung Kar Yan
In the great tradition of Hsu Tseng-Hung's "The Silver Fox" and Chang Cheh's "Legend Of The Fox" comes this exciting adventure, where the only thing between all the clan leaders and certain death is one young woman. But that young woman is Kara Hui Ying-Hung, the remarkable star of legendary director Liu Chia Liang's classics "My Young Auntie" and "The Lady Is The Boss". If anyone can save them, it's her, with the help of "Thundering Mantis" star Liang Chia-Jen (AKA Leung Kar Yan) and action director Lo Chiang.
Cramming a two volume Jin Yong novel into a 90-minute film and having the story flow is no easy feat. While this adaptation by the Shaw Brothers Studio at the end of its prime may not entirely be devoted to the original novel, it is nonetheless entertaining in its own right and still captures the essence of classic Wuxia cinema.
The movie is based on "The Other Tales of Flying Fox" and starts with the duel between two great warriors Miu Yan Fung (Alex Man) and Wu Yat Dou (cameo by Bryan Leung), who have great respect for each other. Wu Yat Dou's pregnant wife (Yuen Qiu) goes into labor during their duel and gives birth to a son, Wu Fei. Meanwhile, Miu Yan Fung's neglected wife (Chan Si Kai) has an affair with his sworn brother Tin Gwai Lung (Koo Koon Chung) and Tin uses this opportunity to poison Miu's sword. It turns out that Tin is in cahoots with the government to destroy the two warriors. As a result, Wu was killed accidentally by Miu during the continuation of their duel. Mrs. Wu commits suicide and leaves little Wu Fei in the care of a servant named Ping Sei. Ping takes little Wu Fei into hiding and raises him like his own. Wu Fei (Felix Wong) grows up into a mischievous youth, learning the Wu Family Sabre from a manual his parents left him and thinking that Miu is behind his father's death. In his journey to seek revenge against Miu, he meets two girls Yuen Ji Yi (Kara Hui) and Ching Ling So (Dai Pei Ling) and falls into a typical love triangle.
