The Water Margin

The Emperor dispatches the wicked Kao Chiu to the sacred mountain to exorcise the evil behind the terrible plague that grips China. Kao Chiu discovers an ancient temple, its doors sealed shut on the orders of a previous Emperor. Within is a pit believed to contain the souls of nine dozen rebellious knights. The souls are scattered over China, now reborn as heroes who will take a stand against the corruption that has gripped the empire. One such hero might be Lin Chung, an honourable officer in the imperial army. However, Kao Chiu hatches a plot to have Lin Chung discharged from the army in disgrace.

Lin Chung continues his journey to the prison; along the way he makes friends with a group of mountain bandits and the tattooed dragon; a noble man living in the village. In prison, Lin Chung becomes friends with Lu Ta, a strong prison guard.
