Plot summary
Ah Pao trains at a local kung fu school, hoping to become skilled enough to punish the man who killed his father. The seniors there bully him. The school's cook steps in, sets the boy a task of taking one grain of rice from his bowl, and afterward shows him some techniques, while warning that he will not reach the level his revenge demands. Elsewhere the Ghost Faced Killer, believed dead, is working through the clan leaders who once plotted to have him killed. Before each attack he throws down a decorated plate showing a red face and fights in his five elements style.
