The Flying Guillotine

People are losing their heads across the empire, taken from a distance by a hooded blade that the Emperor (Chiang Yang) has put in his guards' hands. Ma Teng (Chen Kuan-tai), one of those guards, walks away from the palace to farm and raise a family. Ho Meng-Hua follows a man who has seen too much of the weapon and now has to face it in the hands of someone else.
