Kung Fu Master Of Fat Shan

During the early years of the Ching Dynasty, the Chinese suffered tremendous hardships and suppressions from the Government which led to the outburst of the Tai Ping Rebellion. WEN, a popular drama actor, was also an active member of the rebellion. In a futile attempt to assassinate the much hated YEH, Viceroy of Gwongtung and Gwongsee, WEN was brutally wounded by BAH, a wicked monk and an expert of Kung Fu who was also the central government's watch dog on YEH. WEN was accidentally saved from BAH by CHAN, a student on his way to the county's examination. But CHAN's accidental involvement got himself arrested by BAH who suspected CHAN is a member of the rebellion also. Failing to obtain any information from CHAN with harsh punishments, BAH deliberately let CHAN escape and instructed MA to follow CHAN in hope that CHAN would lead them to the other rebels.

The Kung Fu Master of Fat Shan, LEONG JAN, came across the unconscious CHAN and took him into his care. LEONG had three students, MU, TSE and MOK. Because of their limited physical abilities, none of them were able to master all of LEONG's Kung-fu. One day another Kung-fu expert, a beggar called HONG challenged LEONG to a dual. When he lost to LEONG, he decided to learn from LEONG instead. YEH in his attempt to be rid of BAH, hired three assassins to kill BAH. Instead the three were killed by BAH. Since then the internal conflicts between YEH and BAH intensified. CHAN during one of his visit to the restaurant met CHIU and was mesmerized by her beauty.

CHAN ran into WEN on the street but failed to make contact with WEN. CHIU was the daughter of a once famous MANCHU family. Her father JING had CHIU and son TEH, a useless person. TEH wanted to gain wealth and power by forcing CHIU to marry a powerful Ching official MAN. But CHIU hated MAN for being a corrupted government official. CHIU moved to the temple to avoid MAN. There she met CHAN again. LEUNG saw CHAN and CHIU joking around in the temple and gave them a scolding. Meanwhile, WEN was having a secret meeting with his fellow rebels in a "lady's house". The meeting was known to MAN who led his troops to arrest them. WEN managed to escape again. CHAN and some other students discovered irregularities with the county examinations. YEH used his troops to break up the students protest and banned CHAN from the examination. CHAN was depressed and got drunk over the incident and was captured by some beggars.

After torturing CHAN, the beggars wanted to kill CHAN, but at the last moment, HONG saved him and chased the beggars away. Having no more prospects in studying, CHAN wanted to follow and learn from LEONG but was refused. TSE and the others, who befriended CHAN, arranged for CHAN to watch their practice without LEONG's knowledge. CHAN practiced feverishly and his Kung-fu improved. Finally LEONG became aware of it and was moved by CHAN's desire to learn. Finally LEONG took CHAN in as a student. In his attempt to locate the rebels, BAH discovered two Kung-fu experts hiding incognito in the temple, LEUNG and PO. One day BAH was carrying out a search in the theatre. CHAN in the audience saw BAH, decided to leave. BAH, saw CHAN leaving became more suspicious and decided to give chase. TSE followed BAH and a fight started. In confusion, CHAN escaped but TSE was arrested by BAH.

The next morning, BAH returned TSE to LEONG and hoped to force LEONG to clarify his loyalties to the Government. LEONG refused to bow to BAH's threats and his challenge. But BAH saw it a necessity to defeat LEONG in order to control all the Kung-fu experts and weaken the rebels force. So he continued to prompt LEONG to a fight. Although LEONG was able to maintain self-control over BAH's endless challenges, CHAN and the other students decided to face up to BAH. In a fair fight, HONG was defeated and hurt badly by BAH. BAH, in another attempt to force LEONG to a dual, went on a sweep at several Fat Shan Kung-fu schools and hurt a great number of Kung-fu teachers.

Finally, LEONG agreed to face BAH in a duel. BAH was defeated by LEONG and returned to his temple to recuperate. At this time, MA reported that the leader of the rebellion HUNG had sent a message for the rebel spy; 'HEAVEN'S HOUND'. BAH began to lay a trap for the 'HEAVEN'S HOUND'. One day CHAN met WEN again and began the friendship, not knowing they were both involved with CHILI. CHILI was also troubled by MAN's proposal to marriage. YEH bought a load of firearms to help in suppressing the rebellion. An instructor CARTON came along to teach YEH's soldiers. CHAN helped a man FLING in beating back a bunch of killers. FLING returned to LEONG's school with CHAN and asked CHAN to help to deliver a message to 'HEAVEN 'S HOUND'. One night, CHAN and the others were lured away by a faked attack……
