The master of the respectable and honored Iron Flag Clan (a clan that uses spears with flags as weapons) is murdered by the mysterious White-Robed Wanderer, an assassin hired by the elder brother of the clan Tsao Feng (Iron Tiger). Brother Lo (Iron Leopard) takes the heat when the authorities arrive to make an arrest and agrees to go away for a while. Tsao Feng offers to send him money, however money never arrives, only killers constantly trying to take Brother Lo's life. The White-Robed Wanderer arrives again, only this time to save Brother Lo from being murdered. White-Robed Wanderer admits to Lo that he killed his Chief but he was tricked into doing so by Tsao Feng so that Tsao Feng could take over not only the Iron Flag Clan but their rivals the Eagles. Lo and his brother Iron Monkey team up with the White-Robed Wanderer to go after Tsao Feng and take revenge for their murdered chief.
