Gordon Liu plays Chu Jen-chieh, a lowly conman who sneaks into Shaolin in order to learn kung fu from San Te (Lee King-chue). His goal is to help his dye factory buddies reclaim their lost wages from their tyrannical bosses after initially failing to con the owners with staged displays of kung fu. He succeeds in getting in after several humorous attempts, but instead of joining the other laymen in training, he's forced to wash the dye out of a wig he's wearing the hard way, by repeatedly dropping a rock into a deep well in hopes of catching the inevitable spray of water. Having succeeded only after days of tortuous effort, Chu is then charged with building bamboo scaffolding around each building at Shaolin. Over a year later his task is finally completed, but San Te simply tells him to tear it all down. Furious, Chu fights with San Te before being told to leave Shaolin for good. Chu returns to his friends in disgust over having spent nearly three years at Shaolin and supposedly having nothing to show for it. But what the viewer has already seen and what his friends quickly discover is that he has mastered kung fu after all by applying his strength training with the rock and bamboo scaffolding skills with his many observations of the Shaolin students in training. After realizing this Chu triumphantly challenges the dye factory bosses in an intense and unique display of kung fu where Chu uses bamboo ties and scaffolding to match his opponents' skills with folding tea benches.
