叹那豹子头林冲，曾经是八十万禁军教头，本无野心壮志，只盼与娇妻携手共老，安度此生便已足够。怎耐世道邪恶，不容好人立锥之地。只因恶了高太尉，生事陷害，无端受了一场官司，便被刺配到一个偏远所在看管草料场。偏那一夜大雪正紧，草屋被雪压塌，气短英雄百感交集，只得暂避破庙之中过夜。而就在此时，仇家尾随而至，势要将林冲斩尽杀绝。夜深人静，杀气腾腾，皎洁月下，暗箭齐发。一世英雄已然沦落至此，怎可欺人太甚！

Despite once served as the former martial arts instructor of the Imperial Guards, Lin Chong is a man of the least ambition, and only dreams of leading a happy life with his wife and ending it the same way. However, the ever-degenerating society makes it impossible for decent people to stand upon his dignity. Falling out with and set up by the then Grand Marshal Gao, Lin Chong is deployed to a faraway pasture to tender for the forage. On that very night, the hut is collapsed by the heavy snow and Lin Chong only has to seek shelter in a neighboring temple to stay the night. Just in this moment, he is followed by the minions of Grand Marshal Gao and is on the brink of being assassinated. It is quiet in the dead of the moonlit night, and all that can be heard is the cacophony of the arrows shot from hiding. It is beyond imagination that the former hero should have been reduced to such a predicament! To make or to break, the cornered man has now made his choice.
