"Little Mute" is a young man who joins a Shaolin monastery to become a kung fu master and avenge his father's death. At the monastery, he is considered the least talented student and is often ridiculed by his peers. However, he meets a mysterious prisoner who teaches him a unique kung fu style called "Lion's Roar."
As Little Mute masters the style, he also learns from another teacher, Five Plums, who teaches him the "Gliding Snake" style. Little Mute becomes a skilled fighter and eventually defeats the monastery's infamous "Wooden Men" test.
After graduating, Little Mute meets a powerful gang leader named Kang, who is revealed to be the prisoner he met earlier. Kang is a ruthless killer who misused his kung fu skills to spread violence. Little Mute is shocked and eventually discovers that Kang was the one who killed his father.
Little Mute seeks revenge and trains in a new, ultimate kung fu style. He faces off against Kang in a final showdown, using his newfound skills to defeat him. However, Kang's defeat is a ruse, and he attempts to kill Little Mute with a deadly move. Little Mute dodges the attack, and Kang is killed by his own move.
