Li San has dedicated his life to helping his impoverished fellow countrymen survive the chaos that comes with the birth of a nation, and if that means breaking a few laws, so be it. Inspector Tang has begun to catch some heat for not catching Li San though, and when the noble criminal returns to his hometown with revenge in mind and a chance to reunite with his long lost love Chinny, the authorities may finally be forced to put an end to his philanthropic thieving. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
