The Invitation

A troupe of Shaolin Monks are invited by the Emperor to his palace. The Emperor, impressed by the Monks' skills, asks them to protect his palace from an invading force. A fierce battle then takes place from which the Monks emerge triumphant.

The Threat

When the Monks decline the Emperor's subsequent invitation to serve him permanently at court, he feels threatened by their superior 'Shaolin force'.

The Survival

He then attempts to slaughter the Monks and out of this tragic scene, five children, now celebrated as the 'Five Ancestors' survive and continue to spread Zen Buddhism and the art of Shaolin Kung Fu throughout the land.
