He manages to escape the imperial troops with the help of wandering scoundrels Lin Sai-yu (Alexander Fu Sheng) and Si Tai-yung (Chi Kuan-chun) and an unusual weapon that shoots chunks of gold at his would-be captures. Unfortunately, Chu is not as rich as he appears, having given his money to anti-Manchu rebels and to the poor. He lends pots of gold to his associates for safe keeping but now that he needs the loot back, they are being less than forthcoming. Chu convinces his saviors to help him get his gold back. In the process, the three end up in a kung-fu death match at the Manchurian army base. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
