Following the assassination of Manchu official, a top diplomat is sent to a stronghold along the Chinese-Russian border to negotiate for a supply of arms. Guarding the stronghold is the bearded (and treacherous) Captain Koo. Together with his aid, who wears an unconvincing grey wig, Koo manipulates the situation with the Russians to his own benefit. A group of 5 Anti-Manchu rebels team up to destroy the fortress and battle Captain Koo.
The audio and video are both poor quality, but are watchable. The film opens with plenty of action and slows down towards the middle of the story, but the big fight at the end is a lot of fun to watch (as is usual for this type of film).
Not to be confused with the 5 Venoms film of a similar name, Shaolin Daredevils (1979).
