BANDITS FROM SHANTUNG

An Yu-lung, chief of the Green Dragon Association, has been playing havoc in the Shantung area. One day, Sun Chien arrives at a small town called Lu Chia with a valuable consignment in his escort. It has already been attracted by many outlaws’ attention. Most of the townspeople go eslewhere to avoid an impending bloodshed.

Knight Yen Tieh-i comes to visit his fiance Tieh Ling-ling but finds her house has been deserted. Shocked, he lets his frustration out on An’s henchmen, One-legged Wolf, Yen Lo-tao and Ma Ta-hai. Only Ma manages to escape death in the ensuing fight.

Sun is setting. He orders his men to exercise special vigilence. In the night, Yen is re-united to Tieh when she comes back to fetch some warm clothes for her mother now taking shelter up in the mountain. Yen insists on escorting her back to her mother. En route, they are ambushed by Ma and his men. Yen fights a way out, but Tieh is captured. At dawn, he returns to Lu Chia. He wants to use Sun's consignment as a bait for the bandits. But Sun refuses. Finally yields to the demand after being defeated in a duel.

An and his gangsters come for the consignment. He brings Tieh along as an hostage. He threatens to kill her if Yen dares to interfere. As a result, Yen watches helplessly as An makes away with the consignment. Tieh is then freed.

Back at his stronghold, An is exasperated on discovering that the consignment has been faked. Yen replaced the silver with marbles. And now that Tieh is safe, Yen decides on combating An single-handedly. He dispatches the notorious bandit right at his stronghold.
