Using a legend about an abbot's outer robe and turmoil during the Ming Dynasty as an excuse for kung-fu action, this otherwise routine martial arts film emphasizes honor and sentimentality. At the core of a peasant revolt is the famous Shaolin Temple, threatened with destruction by Ming soldiers if something is not done soon.
