The three Rodents a gang of ruthless killers are trying to track down two pieces of a treasure map so that they can claim the bounty. They're willing to eliminate anyone who stands in their way. When a young girls (Chi Dan Dan) father is killed by the Rodent gang,she swears to gain her revenge. Unfortunately for her,her kung fu isn't good enough to defeat them and she's almost killed when she's knocked off a cliff into a river below. She's taken in by a kindly old man,who teaches her the deadly 8 Strikes of the Wildcat. She must now face the Rodent gang in a duel to the death!

A familiar Kung fu yarn with a hero wanting revenge, but is up against a trio of villains whose prowess in Kung fu ( here it's Rat style) is deadly and seeks tutoring from a wizened old man ( here, he's the master of the wildcat style), and then comes a series of training segments. All standard stuff. However, what makes this film interesting is the fact the "hero" is a heroine. She becomes quite a mover in cat style. The choreography is well done, however I loved the humour, which comes from a poet who has the hots for the heroine. Poor guy falls from her room so many times while trying to court her! At least he's persistent in his amorous intentions! An entertaining Kung fu film.
