When his master dies, a young warrior inherits a magic sword that could mean the difference between his country being conquered or not. His determination to make sure it ends up in the right hands runs up against the powerful lusts of a greedy man who wants to use the sword to take over the country for himself. The story is a bit too complicated for its own good, particularly when the good guy loses his sight and has to fight the bad guys using his remaining four senses, but director Cheng Kang (14 Amazons) doesn't give you too much time to think about as he turns the action meter up to 11 and paints the screen in the red paint that the makers of this kind of chop sockey epic used for blood back in the day.
