Yu Ting, a kung‑fu zealot, rescues a young Shaolin monk, Hsu Shi, from mobsters and uses the chance to enter the temple. Though expelled, he stays near Shaolin, later saving a girl from the Flying Eagle gang. When the Golden Wheel Lama attacks, the abbot, impressed by Ting’s loyalty, inducts him and trains him in Shaolin techniques to face the Lama.
