Last Hurrah For Chivalry

A vicious gang kills a rich man. His son Kao (Lee) goes out for revenge, enlisting the aid of a trusty swordsman (Liv). After the swordsman fails to complete his task, a wandering warrior named Green Sleeves, who has a passion for wine and killing (Wei) decides to help out.
