When the fantastic jade sword, a weapon that can kill a man without even touching him, is lost, a search quickly reveals a conspiracy involving rogue Shaolin monks, powerful ruling families, and the ever mysterious deadly Green Dragon Gang.
Flamboyant kung-fu stylings and arterial blood-spray are let loose when the fantastic jade sword, a weapon that can kill a man without even touching him, is lost by the very person who was supposed to be keeping it safe. A search quickly reveals a conspiracy involving rogue Shaolin monks, powerful ruling families, and the ever mysterious deadly Green Dragon Gang.
When the dagger is used in a murder, and an unknown man is found barely alive in a box at the bottom of a river, the questions get more numerous, and trust is something that comes and goes as quickly as the wind.
Evil Abbots, girly-spies, and plenty of dead bodies pile up as the non-stop action of the search for the Jade Dagger leads from gambling halls, to dark caves, the bottom of rivers and opulent palaces in classic kung-fu scenes that you just have to see to believe.
