Set in 18th Century China.

A blind martial arts master loses two of his his disciples killed

by a one-armed boxer. He sets out for revenge but being

blind he doesn't know which one-armed man is the villain so

he kills everyone he meets.

The device of the title is like a flying hat with blades which

lands on a person's head and then cuts it off.

This film comes from the stable of cheap nonsense which

probably has its origin in comics. An example of the genre is

shown in one of the many fights where a man can extend his

arms and strangle an opponent 2 metres away.
