Plot edit

Wong Chin (Hwang Jang-lee) arrives in a small town for the work, along with his sister and stepbrother. Immediately he encounters villains, who try to take over the rice market and recover the debt from Wong Chin's stepbrother. This leads Wong Chin to fight against them, as they boil "Uncle 33" (Eddy Ko) for ruining his business deal. Uncle 33 decides to kick Wong Chin out of the town, meanwhile, Beggar Fan suggests Wong Chin go to the Shaolin temple. In Shaolin temple, Wong Chin would cause trouble and due his lack of patience he managed to learn the Buddhist fist technique from the abbot. Later Wong Chin learns about inner strength and patience which would prepare him for the last battle. Meanwhile, Uncle 33 and his gang harassed and killed Wong Chin's sister and murdered stepbrother. Wong Chin later takes revenge on them.
