四大門派(故事)
淸朝達固倫親王(陳星)圖控制武林,吸取各門派武功秘笈,使己成爲武林至尊,並肅淸反淸志士,羅致各派高手爲其效命,中有聘自西域之金鈸法王(洪金寶飾)武藝高超。
達固倫親王欲奪取崑崙派之「太極兩儀劍譜」,命金鈸法王向掌門古振風索取,古拒絕與彼等展開激鬥,並命子小虎(田俊飾)護劍譜離去。
古小虎逃至古廟,得在廟中潛修之普慧大師(金剛飾)護衞,金鈸法王雖追至,但不敵普慧高强武功,乃施計傷普慧雙目,迫小虎交出劍譜。
達固倫奪得劍譜後,又率隊赴大風堂,迫楊堂主交出「武當派記傳」,楊不允,力敵衆人,終死於在金鈸法王手下。而「武當派記傳」亦被奪去。
達固倫又思奪少林秘笈,以特殊身份入寺觀察,謂奉皇上命,令少林和尙爲朝廷出力掃除叛逆,借故查看藏經閣,但爲普法方丈嚴拒,達固倫怒辭後,普法令各堂嚴密戒備。
普法又念奉命下山結交江湖志士義擧之戒律堂主普慧毫無訊息,焦急不已。普慧盲目後在深山潛修,傳授小虎武功;冀其有成而繼掌崑崙派,以聯合各派參加反淸。
達固倫喬裝少林寺僧,扮成聾啞和尙,着手下追殺並指控爲謀刺達固倫親王,苦肉計得逞後,達固倫在寺中伺機盗取少林秘笈。
金鈸法王率衆將普慧潛修之茅屋包圍,並下令放火將其燒死。古小虎歸來,屋已成灰,痛哭不已。
古小虎返少林求見方丈,但爲阻止,幸降龍(卡薩諾伐飾)與伏虎(權永文飾)發現小虎有戒律堂堂印,方知普慧殉身達固倫之陰謀下。
小虎謁見方丈時,見達固倫脅持普法方丈要求交出三寶:「少林倚天拳譜」、「羅漢陣法」、「大力金剛指經」。並約定在親王府以寶換人。少林高僧率領降龍、伏虎及六羅漢赴親王府救方丈,展開一段生死鬥,衆志成城,終殺達固倫救回方丈,而小虎亦得回祖傳劍譜,重舉崑崙聲望。

THE SHAOLIN PLOT
A SYNOPSIS
In the first century of the Manchu rule in China, Chinese patriots, led by the martial arts school, work secretly to topple the Manchus. But Manchu Prince Daglen (Chen Hsing), himself a top martial artist, is planning to subdue all the martial arts schools.
First Prince Daglen sent Tibetan Lama Gold Cymbles (Hung Chin—pao) to the Kunlun School to demand the top secret from chief Ku. Ku refuses but loses the fight. However, his son Little Tiger (James Tien) manages to escape with the secret.
Little Tiger seeks the protection of Shaolin monk Pu Hui (Chin Kang). The lama injures Pu Hui and gets the
secret from Little Tiger.
Then it is the turn of the Ta Feng School and the Wu Tang School to be subdued. Prince Daglen now goes to Shaolin Temple, demanding to have their martial secret. Abbot Pu Fa refuses to surrender. The whole temple is put on guard against a Manchu invasion.
Meanwhile, Pu Hui is teaching Little Tiger all he knows about martial arts and urges the young man to keep up the fight against the Manchu. The lama kills Pu Hui but Little Tiger again escapes.
Prince Daglen poses himself as a Shaolin monk and gets into the temple to steal the secrets. He kidnaps the abbot, demanding the surrender of the Shaolin secrets. Luckily Little Tiger gets back to Shaolin in time and with the help of the temple's top martial artists, he succeeds in killing Prince Daglen, rescuing the abbot and keeping the name of Shaolin untarnished.
