Taiwan sword fighter Roc Tien leads the charge and leaves a trail of blood and guts in his path with the famous Black Eagle's Blade. Action so violent it is banned in many countries! Joining Roc are Shaw Brothers superstars Chi Kwan Chun (Drunk Monkey) and Philip Ko Fei (Tiger Over Wall) as master bladesmen. One of the best swordplay films ever made! No wimpy action here!

酒肉和尚道济于灵隐寺看守大悲楼，大师兄素与道济不睦，火烧大悲楼，陷害道济失职，住持遣道济下山化缘赎罪，重建大悲楼。道济化缘方法奇特，行为似癫非癫，亦庄亦谐，且酒肉不戒，以身上泥垢给乡民治病，药到病除，论捉鬼除妖，更是手到拿来，仿如再生活佛，又行事不拘一格，不会墨守成规，遂令得乡民诚心信服。县夫人恃势凌人，欺压乡民,乡民苦不堪言，道济略施小法惩戒县夫人，县夫人老羞成怒，拘捕道济；全乡村民齐集县衙，要求释放道济，县夫人犹未觉悟，下令酷刑对待道济，乡民唯转往灵隐寺，祈求上苍保佑道济无恙。道济对县夫人再施惩戒，县夫人始改过行善，答允重建大悲楼，道济谢过乡民，重投灵隐寺。
