The monks of Shaolin are warrrior priests very important in Chinese history. This is the tale of a chapter in that history where a surviving member of the oppostion to the Ming Tartar rule learns Kung Fu and becomes a master by moving through the 35 different schools in the traditionally elitist monastery.
