Description:
During the War of Resistance, jeweler Han Tian-Kui and his daughter Han Da-Zhu left a chest of jewels—donated by fellow members of the chamber of commerce for the anti-Japanese soldiers—in Liu Shan-Pu's pawnshop. As a token, Han Tian-Kui left behind a short sword, agreeing that when the goods were claimed, only the sword would be recognized, not the person.
On his way home, Han Tian-Kui was killed, and the short sword fell into East Lake. His daughter Da-Zhu barely escaped with her life. Da-Zhu and her younger sister Xiao-Zhu hired boatman Zhao Tong-Hai to search East Lake for the short sword. Show more Da-Zhu remembered that on the day of the incident, a nun had been on the shore. The sisters found the nun, Hui Chen, and asked her to reveal the sword's whereabouts. Recognizing Da-Zhu, Hui Chen arranged to meet her at the gate the next morning. That night Hui Chen discovered several people murdered and knew something was wrong. The next day she hastily pointed out the sword's location and left Biyun Nunnery. Yet at the spot Master Hui Chen indicated, Da-Zhu retrieved only the scabbard—the short sword itself eluded her no matter how she tried. Just then a gang of thugs closed in from the shore, demanding they hand over the sword. After a fierce fight, the thugs were driven off, and Da-Zhu sought out Hui Chen again. Upon learning the sword's story, Hui Chen had her disciple bring it out—it turned out she had already fished the short sword from the water.
The three went straight to Liu Shan-Pu's house, but the one who opened the door was the very thug who had tried to seize the sword by the lake. Another fierce fight erupted.
