Yuan (Kuo Chui) finds the remains of Golden Snake Yi in a cave and, being a righteous sort of fellow, discovers the secrets that will lead him to a fortune in gold (which he plans to give to Yi's heirs). Along the way, he meets the beautiful Qing Qing and her family. She leads Yuan to believe that she's a male, though she's clearly attracted to him (and he to her, in a Manly sorta way...). Yuan is put to the test by the five male members of the Qing family, who utilize The Five-Element Array. If ever an actor could convincingly fend off five skilled opponents, it was Chui: he was a triple threat, an actor whose skill set included almost effortless acrobatics, consummate martial artistry, and absolute believability (whether doing comedy or drama). Some great action throughout. Highly recommended.
