The Twelve Gold Medallions

Traitorous minister Chin Kuei tries to halt General Yueh Fei's victorious battles against the country's invader. He sends imperial orders – in the form of gold medallions – summoning the General back to the capital. Among the patriotic knights trying to intercept the medallions is Miao Lung, whose teacher Chin Yen-tang is in the evil minister's clique. Miao is in love with Chin's daughter, Chin So, who also rebels against her disloyal father and intercepts the medallions herself. Desperate, Chin Yen-tang attacks his own daughter and a fellow patriot, Meng Ta-pei, and kills them both. A horrified Miao slays Chin in turn. Ironically, all this bloodshed is in vain. The crafty Chin Kuei has fooled the patriots with false medallions. The real imperial orders have been delivered into General Yueh's hands.
