Unfortunately, Hell Town Robbers ambushed them and blinded them two, their son also went missing. Longing for Shih’s love for sometime, the Peach Lady seduced Shih to take the “merciless pill” and resulted in Shih’s memory loss and became a puppet controlled by her, causing a commotion in the martial arts world. Adapted from Huang Chun-hsiung’s popular hand puppet show TV series, The Scholar Swordsman, the whole film is permeated with a strong puppetry style.
