SYNOPSIS
The plot centers on a masked pugilist known as "Iron Monkey". Iron Monkey is actually the alter ego of a Chinese physician named Yang Tianchun. In the day, Yang runs his clinic and provides free medical treatment for the poor and overcharges the rich. At night, he dresses in black and travels around town to rob the rich and help the poor. Once, he breaks into the governor's residence and makes off with a hoard of gold. The guards and four Shaolin monks are unable to stop him. The governor orders the chief constable Fox to hunt down Iron Monkey. Fox is obsessed with catching the masked vigilante and anyone who is linked to monkeys in any way seems like a suspect to him. He is not aware that Iron Monkey is actually the physician who is treating his injured men who fought with Iron Monkey the previous night.
