His constant picking of fights ends up having him expelled from his martial arts school, where his father, the esteemed Master Chung, decide to have Chung Chien sent to train under a hermit in the hills. At the same time, a dangerous local gang leader have plans to take over the town by eliminating all the martial art families.

!!The New Shaolin Tropers:

* AgonizingStomachWound: [[spoiler: Feng Tien-shan managed to inflict a painful gash through Chung Chien's stomach by ambushing the hero with his clawed gauntlets. Chung Chien must finish the fight while bleeding his guts out]].
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: The final battle concludes with Feng Tien-shan fatally stabbing his gauntlets into Chung's midsection, but ends up getting LeftStuckAfterAttack. Chung, who still have one of his swords, hacks off Feng's gauntleted arm before going for the killing blow]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Chung Chien just ''can't'' stick his nose away from interfering with bullying thugs, street punks and hooligans picking on civilains, getting himself into all kinds of trouble which he could've avoided just by ignoring. His scuffle with Tien-shan's punks pretty much kickstarts the plot.
* DeliberatelyMonochrone: Chung Chien's training flashback (splied with footage of him fighting) is in sepia.
* DualWield: Chung Chien in the finale wield twin ''dao''s against Feng Tien-shan, who uses his clawed gauntlets.
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: Not surprising considering this is a Chang Cheh film]].
* ISurrenderSuckers: [[spoiler: Chung Chien in the finale had beaten down Master Feng, but decides to ultimately spare Feng's life to make him live with the knowledge of his defeat for the rest of his life. Feng instead grabs his clawed gauntlet and lashes out at Chung Chien]].
* MatchCut: Used in the final battle when Chung Chien flashes back to his training, which is inter-cut with Chung Chien fighting Master Feng. So in the flashbacks we see Chung lashing out at trees and training dummies -- that is cut with Chung hitting Master Feng in the precise spot with hsi fists.
* MutualKill: [[spoiler: The final battle between Chung Chien and Tien-shan ends in this manner, Chung stabbing Tien-shan to death while succumbing to his injuries. While the villain dies in a graphic way onscreen, the audience see Chung Chien stagger a bit -- and then cuts to his MeaningfulFuneral]].
* TrainingFromHell: Chung Chien's training from the hermit definitely qualifies. He's assigned to fill a twenty-gallon tank of water on a hill in ''three'' days by carrying two buckets of water from a river at the bottom; and as soon as the tank is filled, it's emptied again. Rinse and repeat.
* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: Chung Chien is a MartialPAcifist who, despite picking on various thugs harassing the locals, refuse to resort to murder. But against Feng Tien-shan's legion of killers, he had no choice but to start killing his way through them.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Chung Chien, who trains and fights bare-chested
* WolverineClaws: Master Feng Tian-shan's personal weapon, a gauntlet with hooked claws which he carries in a case everywhere he goes during his fights. He use this weapon to ambush and kill Master Chung, [[spoiler: and later use it again to wound Chung Chien in the finale]].
* YouKilledMyFather: The vendetta between Chung Chien and Feng Tian-shan becomes [[ItsPersonal personal]] after Feng killed Chung's father.
