Sammo Hung stars in this classic martial arts drama as a man who was orphaned as a boy and has struggled through poverty all his life. Known in his village as "the Filthy Guy," the poor laborer works for a landowner named Chan. When Chan finds himself the target of harassment by a group of violent thugs, he and his family have no way to defend themselves. However, the "Filthy Guy" has a secret -- he's a master of Kung Fu, and he teaches Chan and his people how to send the bad guys packing.
