「追撃」本事
石家閃電劍法嫡傳弟子石海龍,携血絲寶劍尋訪殺父仇家,然而仇家是誰?僅知屬金門派之一高手。但其父死後,金門派卻突然歛跡江湖,現可追尋線索,僅有二端,其一是派人送信通知石家前往收尸的天龍幫中人韓乙楚,其二卽携有另一柄血絲寶劍的人。蓋血絲寶劍,原有一雙,石父死前,曾帶一柄血絲寶劍離家,死後該劍遺失。
石在飯店中,遇天龍幫追魂三傑,三傑見寶劍心起覬覦。石劍出鞘,三傑立死者二,甲傑負傷而逃。石此舉實已惹禍上身,甲傑已通知天龍幫,四面埋伏,欲得石寶劍而甘心。尚幸石劍術超絕,更有寶劍,所向披靡,殺辛左、辛右,遂與天龍幫結下冤仇,而他所欲向其探詢殺父仇人的韓乙楚,現已升任天龍幫幫主,石對該幫幫衆苦苦相纏,不免叫苦連天。
至大鎭,天龍幫堂主何大手以石連殺幫衆,更欲奪其寶劍,想誘殺他,石戰勝,但不願與天龍幫結怨,傷何後遣走之。石精妙劍法與寶劍,爲靑年伙上衞平及師妹姬芳芳瞥見,求結交,石以世途艱險,甚表疑忌,策馬馳去。經大石橋,遇艶婦雲彩。雲施巧計,偷龍轉鳳,盜走血絲寶劍。
石趕至開封府天龍幫總壇,衞、姬跟踪暗窺石之行動。石求見幫主韓乙楚,惟爲幫衆伏擊,石劍出鞘,豈料寶劍已失,手中所執,鐵片而已,力敵羣雄,卒會見韓乙楚。韓縱石速往找囘寶劍,石遂脫險,奔出天龍幫。暗窺動靜中之衞平,覺韓舉動詭秘,甚爲詫異,遂闖總壇大堂,向韓透露身份,暗示即金門派中人。韓驚懼,引衞入密室。
話分兩頭,石離天龍幫,苦苦思索,寶劍究爲誰所偷?爲何人人欲得此寶劍?腦中現出艶婦雲彩相遇經過,甚覺可疑,往覓彩,彩還其寶劍,裸身擁石,表示甚願與結良緣,爲天龍幫溫堂主窺見,春光乍洩,溫逼彩殺石,獻出寶劍,可向韓領賞,彩反唇相稽,謂她旣擁有石與寶劍,實可任幫主夫人,意謂利用石殺韓。溫怒,與彩血戰,彩不敵,石出劍相助,殺溫。彩邀石殺韓。石拒,棄彩而去,於小巷中遇姬,姬欲試石閃電劍法,偷襲,將石制服,並告只欲相試而已,遂與石交爲朋友。石亦告以欲尋記得此劍之人而殺之以報父仇,姬願同往見韓。惟至天龍幫總壇,發現韓離奇被人殺死於密室中,幫衆謂韓死前與衞同至密室,姬直認衞爲其師兄,但向石否認並非爲殺韓滅口。幫家悉姬與衞同路,齊攻姬,石拔劍相助,破鐵盾陣,着姬先走,自己斷後。在此同时,彩亦趕至總壇,乘石與幫家惡鬥,潛入密室,搜出石父生前所佩另柄血絲寶劍。
彩携寶劍宣告幫衆,韓幫主昔日曾傳令江湖,得此寶劍,卽任本幫副幫主。今韓已亡,彩卽爲幫主,遂下令尋衞,以報殺幫主之仇。
實則,衞所以殺韓,是迫韓道出當日石父與姬父比劍,不分勝負,力盡雙雙疲死,韓檢獲血絲寶劍,知該劍有一對,雙劍相對,可開劍柄,柄内藏有藏寶地圖。於是,韓欲得雙劍,遂編造故事,稱石、姬之父,臨終託言,互謂其後代必可殺對方後代,以引起石、姬兩家自相殘殺,以收漁人之利。姬聞言,急往覓石。
而彩旣得血絲寶劍,爲天龍幫幫主,她原爲韓姘頭,知此秘密,遂以韓之計,往說石,指姬卽爲其殺父仇人之後代。幸姫、衞及時趕到,揭露彩之陰謀,遂協力殺彩,殲天龍幫,而血絲寶劍,亦物歸原主矣。
The Chase
Swordsman Shih Hai-lung sets out to avenge his father's death, knowing only that it involved the Golden Gate Sect and a man called Han l-chu.
He kills two Heavenly Dragon Association gangsters who tried to grab his priceless sword. This sparks off a grudge between Shih and the Association now headed by Han.
Shih's sword and swordplay attract the attention of young knight Wei Ping and his colleague, Yi Fang-fang. They want to befriend Shih, but to no avail. Travelling along, Shih has his sword stolen by Yun Tsai, a sensuous woman he comes to know.
At the Association's headquarters, Shih gets into an ambush by the Heavenly Dragon henchmen. He draws his sword, only to discover it has been replaced by a fake. Still, he fights a way out to see Han, who urges him to leave immediately and start searching for his lost weapon. Wei, who has been tailing Shih secretly, notices Han's mysterious behaviour. He reveals his identities to Han as a member of the Golden Gate Sect. Looking frightened, Han leads Wei into a secret room.
Shih suspects Yun of the stealing. He calls on her, and demands she return the sword. This she does. Shih leaves after refusing to help her eliminate Han. In a small lane, he meets Yi, who tries out his fighting ability in a duel. The two become friends afterwards. Shih tells Yi that he is in a hunt for his father's killer. Yi offers to help. They go to the Association's headquarters, but find Han killed in the secret room. They soon come under an attack by the henchmen, but manage to flee. Then, Yun appears in the scene. She sneaks into the secret room where she finds a sword identical to Shih's but in fact belonging to Shih's late father The find results in her being chosen as the Association's new chief.
Later, it is revealed that Wei had tortured Han to death in the process of forcing him to tell the truth. Han admitted he got the coveted sword in the scene where Shih's father and Wer's father died after duelling to a draw. He started lots of rumours to fan up new enmity between the Yis and the Shihs.
Yun, who was Han's mistress, also knows of this secret. She tries to talk Shih into avenging his father's death on Wei. But Yi arrives in time with Wei to expose her plot. Wun is finally killed.
