After a three-year hiatus from acting, actor-director Wang Yin made his acting comeback with this remake of Blood-Stained Begonia (1949). Wang starred as Debiao, a flying bandit who plans to call it quits for the sake of his daughter. However, his scheming wife (Li Lihua) snitches on him, sending him to prison. 16 years later, Debiao learns that his wife is blackmailing his daughter (Chung Ching), prompting the bandit to break out of jail to settle the score. Li is dangerously seductive as the evil vixen, dominating the scenes as she struts across the screen in a tight-fitting qipao that oozes sex appeal. Dubbed the first Chinese film shot in Eastmancolor, 1950s Tokyo is vividly captured in this thrilling tale of greed, love and revenge.
