Iron Monkey
The movie showed a time when the Shaolin monks were not devoted to their spiritual duty but wanted to live the worldly life. It was also during this time of rampant corruption, a kind and heroic Dr. Yang used the wealth of the rich to help the poor. He charged the rich people fees they could afford so that the poor and indigent people would not have to pay any money for medical care.
Under his secret identity of The Iron Monkey, Dr. Yang and his nurse, Miss Orchid, would give gold and arrange to have food provided to the suffering people to help them. The governor hated the existence of the Iron Monkey, but he was the among greatest of heroes among the common people.
One day the governor arrested everyone they suspected to be The Iron Monkey and put them behind bars. Of those that were captured there was a martial artist and his son, Wong Kei Yee and Wong Fei Hong, who would also become among the greatest of China´s heores. The governor ordered Wong Kei Yee to catch The Iron Monkey to get back his son whom the governor imprisoned. When the citizens found out about this, they didn't want anything to do with Wong Kei Yee. They wouldn't even sell him food at any cost.
Finally Dr. Yang revealed to Wong Kei Yee that he was The Iron Monkey and he helped get his son from the prison. They then team up to get rid of the corrupt Shaolin monks as well as the greedy governor.
