The Shaw Brothers 1967 swordplay masterpiece One-Armed Swordsman is credited for bringing Hong Kong's wuxia cinema into the international limelight. The film's director Chang Cheh followed up the critically and commercially successful action classic with two sequels, namely Return of the One-Armed Swordsman (1969) and The New One-Armed Swordsman (1971). For the grand finale of the influential trilogy, Chang replaced Jimmy Wang with the rising duo of David Chiang and Ti Lung, who would go on to become big stars in their own right and a regular fixture in Chang's films celebrating the aesthetics of masculinity and heroic violence.

The evil Lung I-Chi (Ku Feng) fears Lei Li's (David Chiang) famous twin swords, so he hatches a plot to frame him and make him cripple his own right arm. After that, Lei is determined to stay away from the martial world, and he hides in a small inn incognito. There, he finds companionship in the blacksmith's daughter Ba Jiao (Li Ching). One day, a couple of thugs working for Lung make unwelcome advances on Ba, fortunately a righteous swordsman named Feng Chun-Chieh (Ti Lung) helps beat them off. Feng and Lei become sworn brothers, and when Lung murders Feng in a duel, a devastated Lei vows to avenge him with his only arm and single blade...
