Plot

edit

Pai Wu Lang, disguised as the "Silver Ninja", arrives in a Manchurian mining town seeking his father's killer. His search is complicated by a cache of jewels, the reward of a spy for Japan, buried somewhere on the mountain. He saves a flower seller, Xue Hua, and her blind father from government thugs, then discovers that the old man caused his father's death—accidentally. When Xue's father is himself murdered, she and Pai join forces to clean up the town.
