Plot summary
Sun Yi Ting is a kung fu fanatic who has spent five years challenging masters and has never been beaten, so he keeps looking for a teacher. He meets Hsu Shi, a young Shaolin monk who took money from a gambling match to bring meat and wine to his master. Hsu Shi leads Ting into the Buddhist temple, where the old master defeats him with ease but refuses to take him as a student. Ting resorts to trickery to learn the master's techniques, and the head abbot expels him from the temple.
