Overview
The Scholar Swordsman Shih Yen-wen and the Good Daughter Pai Chun loved one after another deeply and became husband and wife. Unfortunately, Hell Town Robbers ambushed them and blinded them two, their son also went missing. Longing for Shih’s love for sometime, the Peach Lady seduced Shih to take the “merciless pill” and resulted in Shih’s memory loss and became a puppet controlled by her, causing a commotion in the martial arts world. Adapted from Huang Chun-hsiung’s popular hand puppet show TV series, The Scholar Swordsman, the whole film is permeated with a strong puppetry style. The plot is full of twists and turns, and the fight scenes were creatively designed. Moreover, Shaw Brothers’ martial arts star, Chen Hung-lieh guest-starred in the film. It is a real treat for the sight and sound.
