After being rescued from the hangman’s noose for a crime unbefitting the punishment, Chi Hsiang returns to his village home after a three-year absence. There he discovers local bully turned tyrant, Tien Pioa in league with the Japanese and bleeding the poor farmers for all they possess. At first Chi refuses to help fearing it would merely cause more problems. However, the killing of his school’s teacher ultimately causes him to rethink his stance. (Source: Letterboxd)
