Swordsman Iljimae travels to Japan in search of the CheonRyongGeom, a national treasure looted by the Japanese invader Kuroda. But two others are hunting Kuroda besides Iljimae: one-armed warrior Macheol, who lost his left arm to Kuroda’s trickery, and blind swordsman Yoshiyama, who lost his new wife as well as both his eyes to Kuroda’s fierce lieutenant, Okamoto. Encountering each other by chance, the three chivalrous fighters retain a respectful distance from one another, but after Iljimae rescues Macheol and Yoshiyama when they are caught by Kuroda’s obsessive pursuit, they join hands against their common enemy. After a bloody battle they successfully avenge themselves, and Iljimae heads for the Fatherland with the now restored CheonRyongGeom in his bosom.
