The Shaolin Temple is the citadel of kung fu and the cradle of anti-Manchu patriots. Still, a Shaolin renegade Shih has gone over to the Manchus and is leading the suppression campaign. The Shaolin abbot thus calls on his best student Yung Fei to stop Shih. Yung Fei has to pass a test and he does.

Young Tan helps Yung Fei pass Manchu roadblocks. They become friends. Yung Fei also sees a group of patriots save Chiu from execution. When Shih's man Tu chases Chiu, Yung Fei hides him.

Yung Fei plans to kill Shih and Chiu agrees to sacrifice himself. Chiu is bound and Yung Fei is to surrender Chiu to Shih in order to get near Shih. But Shih is tipped off and Yung Fei is put to jail. Tan again rescues him.

Yung Fei leads the patriots in an attack on Shih's headquarters. Shih invites him to a duel into death. Both sides suffer seriously. But Yung Fei manages to kill Shih and win the battle.

少林門本事

　　雲飛（譚道良飾）是少林寺智能禪師的高徒，精通各種拳術，身手不凡。會少林寺西院之大師兄石少峯（田俊飾）因貪圖富貴，叛離少林，投効滿淸位居統領□□捕殺少年流亡志士及反清靑年，雲飛之師兄譚雄（高强飾）即爲石少峯所捕，寧死不屈，自殺而死。

　　雲飛從師父口中獲悉此事，願爲師兄復仇，接受下山前通過十二少林陣之考驗，他憑自己的絕技，果獲全勝，即接受誓禮，下山爲師報仇，他路經一處關卡，見有淸兵搜查，適有一少年譚風（陳元龍飾）趕馬車入城，雲飛滾入車底，攀緊車軸，幸得瞞過淸兵盤查過關。事後，雲飛知譚有意相助，乃向彼致謝。

　　雲飛行至大石鎭，見有淸兵押解反淸志士邱國等，準備當街行刑，石少峯手下之副統領杜靑（洪金寶飾）亦出現，雲飛正觀看時，忽被客棧老闆馬烈拉入客店內。在門縫窺視，行刑時屆，雲飛正想待機搶救，忽有十數名反淸志士湧出，向杜靑襲擊，並拖邱國逃走。但石少峯手下之八大金剛向反淸志士追殺，反淸志士死傷甚衆。而邱國亦受重傷，但卒能逃進馬老闆之客棧內，雲飛急扶彼匿入其房中，杜靑率淸兵入客棧搜查，被雲飛擊退入房之士兵，杜靑見其武功不凡，欲延攬入伍，爲雲飛所拒。

　　在客店中，雲飛又遇一遊俠江南浪子（楊威飾），知其非平凡人，有意結交，但轉瞬失其踪跡，雲返客店爲邱裹傷，邱向雲陳述石少峯本人及其手下之厲害，雲思得一計，邱表示願意犠牲，與之合作。

　　雲飛押邱至石之縣衙，晋身求職，欲伺機行刺，不料石早已獲悉雲之身份，嚴陣以待，原來客棧老闆馬烈實爲石之手下，邱與雲見情勢不對，突起發難，邱慘被石殺死，而雲與石及其手下激戰，因寡不敵衆，卒爲石所擒。幸在獄中獲得假扮獄卒之譚風救出，匿居其家中養傷練武，思破石武功之法。其後，雲與譚又找得江南浪子，三人結盟復仇。

　　三人苦練武功數月，設計攻大石鎭，石中調虎離山計遠出，三人攻入縣衙，大敗石之手下，石獲悉杜靑報吿，怒約雲飛等在紅河谷決鬥。期屆，雲飛與江南浪子及譚風等與石少峯，杜靑及馬烈相會於紅河谷峭壁上，一塲激戰結果，石少峯、杜靑及馬列卒惡貫滿盈，先後喪生，但江南浪子與譚風亦不幸壯烈犠牲，僅餘雲飛獨存，深仇已報，惟歎義友爲己而亡。
