Jimmy plays Lin Jen-shiau, a martial artist assigned by his school to guard a powerful, near-invincible superweapon - the titular Sword of Swords - passed down for generations within his clan ever since it was forged 1,000 years ago. But a traitor of his clan seeks the sword for himself as well, and will put the entire clan through hell to get it.
