Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A short-tempered, violent criminal named "White Tiger" is on the run from the police and joins a theater troupe for disguise, killing anyone who angers him or who suspects his identity. One person he unsuccessfully tries to kill several times is a cowardly laundry man named "Mousy" who manages to escape mostly by running and hiding. When a very close friend of Mousy's is killed by the White Tiger, Mousy overcomes his cowardliness enough to seek revenge. Spectacular martial arts and acrobatics highlight the film, including a well choreographed fight between two pairs of men in dragon costume.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | During the lion dance scene, in the background a yellow and black flag can be spotted. This is a flag from Enter the Dragon (1973), which featured Shih Kien as the main villain. This is significant as Kwan Tak-Hing's interpretation of Wong Fei-Hong (as seen in this film) was originally known to frequently battle villains played by Kien in the 1950s and 1960s. See more » |
