Wild wie ein Tiger plant Kao Chiu jetzt seinen endgültigen Streich. Er will den Kaiser töten, die Tsung-Dynastie beenden und die Kao-Dyastie beginnen lassen.
Diese Gerüchte haben auch den Liang Shan Po erreicht. Lin Chung fühlt, dass es seine Pflicht ist, den Kaiser zu warnen und ihn zu überzeugen, dass er handeln muss...
The prophecy is now complete: the nine dozen heroes of the water margins of Liang Shan Po gather like storm clouds to the south of the capital city. Kao Chiu, like a caged tiger, plots to kill the Emperor, now a prisoner in his own palace. The dynasty of Kao will replace a hundred and fifty years of rule by the Sungs. Lin Chung speeds to the capital in an attempt to save the Emperor from the coming battle. Meanwhile, thousands of peasants join the rebel knights of Liang Shan Po as they march on the capital city. Lin Chung must save the life of the Emperor-and confront Kao Chiu for the last time.
