Plot summary
Chan Hung works for a Hong Kong gang, and his brother Chan Wing is a heavyweight boxer. Wing beats the Thai fighter Bu Bo, then takes a punch after the bell that leaves him paralyzed. Rival gangsters kill the leaders of Hung's organization, and Hung is abducted; an apparition of a Buddhist monk strikes down his captors, and Hung begins to see visions. Wing wants Bu Bo punished, so Hung heads for Thailand and challenges him. At a temple he learns that its dead head abbot, Qing Zhao, foresaw his visit; Qing had come to Hong Kong the year before to break up a circle of black magicians, and he asks Hung to take monastic vows and carry on that work.
