A bleeding Kang is rescued by a cute girl called Chiao Chiao who happens to guard a book of secret fighting techniques.  He perfects his one-armed swordsmanship, returns in time to save his master from baddies Smiling Tiger (Ti Tang) and Long-Armed Devil (Chih-Ching Yang), who have been easily killing the master&#8217;s men by clamping their swords then knifing them with the other arm.  Even after the master&#8217;s men see how this approach works, they keep getting killed because they have only one fighting tactic.  One-arm with his broken sword is immune to the clamp, kicks everyone&#8217;s ass then retires with his Chiao.<\/p>\n<p><em>Long-Armed Devil:<\/em><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image14\/onearmed1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image14\/onearmed2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Lot of people standing still and talking, but some inventive editing (between and within scenes) makes up for that somewhat.
