Clan Feuds

While two clans continue their long-held rivalry, two of their respective members fall in love, facing the vitriol of their separate chiefs. Tze Chung-Tang (Ti Lung) is asked to execute the disobedient lover who belongs to their clan, but saves his life and sends him into hiding. The grief-ridden brother, Xun-Zheng (Lo Meng), vows revenge on Tze, though both men subsequently find themselves embroiled in the search for a valuable kung-fu manual. Every clan appears to be involved in the hunt and a variety of tricks are used by each one as a means of getting the upper hand. One particularly ambitious swordsman uses his ravishing accomplish to ingratiate her way into Xun-Zheng's affections in the hope that he knows where the manual is, while further driving a wedge between him and Tze.
