Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

Chien Fu (Jackie Chan) is orphan adopted by a kung fu school. He is abused by the teachers as a walking punching-bag. Chien befriends an old beggar by offering him a meal and a place to stay. Unknown to Chien, the beggar is Pai Cheng-Tien, one of the last surviving masters of the Snake-style of kung-fu. Pai is on the run from the Eagle Claw clan, which is viciously killing off all of the rivals.
