THE INVINCIBLE SWORD (SYNOPSIS)

　　During the Southern Sung Dynasty, General Yueh Fei is summoned back to the Imperial City from the war front where his army is about to crash the Chins in a decisive battle. Corrupt minister Chien Hui soon has him framed and kept under house custody at the Ta Li Temple. Swordfighters from everywhere arrive in an attempt to save General Yueh.

　　In a hasty move, they storm the temple, but suffer heavy casulties. Only Ling Ru-feng manages to escape. Wounded, he collapses at the riverside.

　　A junk sails near. On board are a band of itinerant performers including Sung Tsin and his daughter, Yu-erh and Yuekming. They save Ling and learn of what he and his comrades have done. Touched, the Sungs pledge their support. Yu-erh soon falls for Ling while nursing him back

　　In the Imperial City, Sung Tsin and Yueh-ming befriend patriots Chiao Lieh and Fang Wu. But, unfortunately, they are tailed by two spies on their way back to the junk. Their plan leaks out. As a result, Ling and others are trapped after inching their way through the tunnel leading to the temple. Again, all except Ling die in the clash that follows. The failure deals a heavy blow to Ling's moral.

　　The Sungs urge Ling to stage a comeback. Wang Ta-li, one of Sung Tsin's disciples, suggests that they can sneak into the temple by making good use of their acrobatic techniques. Then, the rescue begins as planned.

　　With Yueh-ming and Yu-erh posing as prostitutes to lure away the guards, Ling at last meets General Yueh face-to-face. But the latter, thinking he will be given a fair trial before the law, refuses to leave the prison. Ling knocks him out.

　　Ling hands General Yueh over to Sung Tsin who has been waiting outside. He enters the temple again, just in time to save the Sung sisters from being molested. He clears a way out for the Sungs who are taking General Yueh along. While doing so, Ling is fatally wounded. He soon dies on the spot, his body standing upright. Suddenly, General Yueh comes round, frees himself from the Sungs' grip, and dashes into the temple. Ling's body falls flat instantly.
