Short description

A young daydreamer assumes the identity of a dead martial arts hero and quickly finds himself caught up in a plot by several clans to steal famous martial arts artifacts being transported by an escort company.

What's left behind the scenes

The film was shot in 1978, but was released in 1980. Lo Wei, whose company financed the filming, was so dissatisfied with the picture that he kept it shelved for two years before releasing it in June 1980, when Jackie Chan had already become a recognized star. At that time, the film grossed 1 million Hong Kong dollars in its first two months of release.
