Sima Jun is a killer working for a corrupt lord whose orders are followed without question or hesitation. When the lord suffers from a life-threatening boil on his back, he is told by the Imperial doctor that a herb called "Longevity Rattan" offers the only cure and is grown in a remote village by a herbalist named Tan. Sima Jun is sent on a mission to get the herb and return it before it's too late (seven days). A jealous aide saddles Sima Jun with six other fighters to accompany him so that they can steal the herb when they get the chance and race back to the capital so the aide will get the credit. Sima Jun doesn't trust the six and none of them trust each other. (Source: TMDb) Edit Translation

Reviews
The plot is not very deep. The evil lord needs a rare medicine and sends Lo Lieh and his deadly dragon missiles to get it. The evil second in command wants the glory and rewards so he sends henchmen to "escort" LL. Along the way innocents are killed and family members come seeking revenge. There are crosses, double-crosses and triple-crosses all with LL in their cross-hairs. Very few minutes go by without weapons being drawn and red blood or heads flying.
Several of the fight scenes take place outdoors in beautiful settings near the ocean. Some of the stage sets will seem familiar to Shaw viewers. The fights are adequate for this cast, not super fast but entertaining.
The plot was thin, the sound effects could have come straight out of a Warner Bros. cartoon, and as always the Shaw Bros. ending was hilariously abrupt, but it was a fun 80 minutes of fights, chases, and betrayals.
