The Black Butterfly

Five Devils Rock, outside Kiang Shan, is the hideout of five ruthless bandits. One night, a large amount of gold is stolen from the area. The mysterious thief leaves no trace other than the mark of a black butterfly. Baffled, bandit chiefs, Lan and Hand, decide to seek out the culprit.

Lo Wei stars and directs this period piece that centers around Black Butterfly, a Robin Hood-type character who steals from the rich, and gives to the poor. "Black Butterfly" is a detailed story of mystery and secret identities, complete with the elaborate choreography inherent to most Shaw Brothers Films.
