Man-Ching Ku

Taiwanese romantic drama set in a mining town starring Brigitte Lin.

Upon their invasion of Taiwan in 1874, the Japanese team up with a sinister tong to hold a martial arts tournament in a plot to root out and assassinate the region's top resistance fighters, thereby breaking the spirit of Chinese patriotism. Two local kung-fu masters prove more than a match for the invaders.

A troupe of comedians, including midgets, provide entertainment and kung fu trouble for the villains.
