「金旋風」本事
宋朝末年,奸相賈似道當國,排除異己,殘殺忠良。俠女丁紫鳳因父受誣,夜探相府半閒堂,獲悉似道託武林高手密帶降書給蒙古帝國,隱約聽見金旋風之名,遂廣邀武林名門正派,截擊金旋風。
武林泰斗申源之首徒楊劍鳴,首先發現金旋風於小鎭上,見金所作所爲,不像邪道中人,且武功高不可測,肝胆相照,遂與結交。實際上,金旋風正苦於謠言散佈,謂金已爲似道帶出密函啓程。
一日,金遇似道手下第一高手袁能,袁設下三度埋伏,並出示數箱黄金,實行威迫利誘。金嚴詞拒絕,揮動獨門武器金披風與之格鬥,奈何袁人多勢衆,金衝破障碍,擺脫袁等纏戰。
楊與金結交後,决爲金昭雪罪名,往見紫鳳,告以金非賣國求榮之輩,紫鳳以親耳所聞,不信,而楊亦將信將疑。突聞金疾馬馳來,紫鳳與六同門,合稱飛劍七鳳,與楊一起追金;到鎭上,袁預知金、鳳、楊等將相繼而至,使詭計多端的手下碧玉蛇,進行挑撥離間。七鳳於客店中,碧毛遂自荐,自認爲鳳先父之友,並告以金亦在座。鳳聞言,便卽襲金,飛劍七鳳果名不虛傳,刀光劍影,罩住了金旋風,金無從解釋,突圍而去。金在客店中,已窺知此反間之計,是碧所爲,遂返客店暗跟碧,窃聽碧與袁能密語,謂密函已藏七鳳之一坐騎的雕鞍底層,借七鳳北行使其在不知不覺中義務帶此重要文件至北地,然後始施毒手殺七鳳。金深嘆碧之鬼才,並慶幸自己窃聽了這項秘密,遂往見楊,邀襲袁、碧。金受困,袁欲殺之,碧以金尚有利用價値,阻止之。金、楊拼力與戰殺出重圍。金告楊密函藏於七鳳鞍底之秘密,遂同往覓七鳳。
數天後,果發現七鳳,但多了四位武林頂尖兒高手,爲首者卽楊劍鳴之師父申源。楊替金洗脫罪名,金亦指出密函正藏在七鳳鞍底,鳳搜索後,果然見一長信條封,有相府印鑑。拆視,僅一白紙,申指金此爲調虎離山計,聯衆高手欲除金,楊力證金非歹人,申爲此將楊逐出門牆。金至此始知中了碧之奸計,却欲辯無詞,勉力迎戰,金受重創飛馬逃避,楊隨後照應。
金、楊在逃命中偶發現七鳳踪跡,而四大高手則未同行,金痛定思痛,深爲七鳳之安全担憂,遂與楊暗裏追踪。七鳳於荒野小茅屋中遇袁、碧偷襲。七鳳漸不支,金、楊出現,殺碧,並活捉袁。袁供出帶密函者,並非金,而是四大高手之首,武林泰斗,做賊喊賊的楊劍鳴的師父申源!此時,申已至邊境靑陽鎭,哄開三大高手,正欲交密函給蒙人,金等及時趕到,拆穿申的假面具,申合蒙古高手,與金等决戰,一塲天昏地暗的血戰,屍横遍野,金手刄此一代梟雄,搜出密函,與鳳、楊同赴京師,揭露似道奸謀,鳳父亦沉寃得雪矣!

THE HURRICANE
Many state officials have fallen victims to a severe purge by corrupted Prime Minister Chia Shih-tao during the end of the Sung Dynasty. Among them is swordslady Ting Tze-feng’s father. By chance, Ting overhears Chia mention the name of a swordsman, Chin Hsuan-feng, as he orders a secret letter to be sent to the Mongolians. She calls upon all upright knights to intercept Chin.
Yang Chien-ming, martial art expert Shen Yuan’s disciple, spots Chin in a small town. He befriends him after being impressed with his fighting ability and personality. At heart, Chin feels worried about rumours that he is carrying Chia’s secret letter.
One day, Chin meets up with Chia’s top fighter Yuan Nun, who tries to bribe him into submission. Chin refuses.
Yang wants to have Chin’s name cleared. He tells Ting that his friend is unlikely to be a traitor. But Ting is not convinced, for what she has overheard. Suddenly, Chin is sighted passing by. Yang, Ting and her colleagues give chase.
Knowing Ting is approaching with her friends, Yuan sends Pi Yu-she to fan up troubles between them and Chin. Pi introduces herself to Ting as a friend of her late father, and talks Ting into making a surprise attack on Chin, who is staying at the same inn. Chin fights a way out, and leaves without a chance to explain. But he knows Pi has been the trouble-maker. He tracks her back to the inn, where he overhears Pi confide to Yuan that she has hidden the secret letter inside Ting’s saddle. Chin goes to see Yang. Both men soon find themselves being surrounded by Yuan, Pi and their henchmen. Chin tells Yang about Pi’s trick after making good an escape together.
A few days later, Yang and Chin find Ting in the company of four top swordsmen, including Shen, Chin points out to them that Chia’s secret letter has been stuffed into Ting’s saddle. Acting on Chin’s words, Ting find a long envelop with Chia’s chop on. But it contains only a sheet of blank paper. Shen accuses Chin of lying. But yang springs to his friend’s defence. For this, Shen throws Yang out of his sect. Until now, Chin realises that he has been fooled by Pi again. He gets seriously wounded in the ensuing fight, but eventually manages to escape with Yang.
Ting is attacked by Yuan and Pi in the countryside. Chin and Yang come to her timely rescue, kill Pi and help capture Yuan. Yuan confesses that the one carrying the secret letter is not Chin, but Yang’s teacher, Shen.
In Ching Yang town, Shen is about to hand over the secret letter to the Mongolians when Chin and his friends arrive. Shen’s secret is out. He is killed in the clash that follows. The letter is found on his body. Chin, Ting and Yang head for the Imperial City, with a view to exposing Chia’s plot.
