General Synopsis: Secret Ninja, Roaring Tiger [2] (1982) was directed by the legendary Godfrey Ho, aka Godfather Ho from the hit movie Mr X. (1995). The movie stars Dragon Lee as 'The Dragon' who has taken part in a local martial arts contest to win the right to marry the daughter, Susan, of wealthy land owner, Lord Evergreen. Having won the contest, by defeating one chap (who had actually beaten several other competitors) the Dragon leaves Susan and Lord Evergreen to go to meet his master, to inform him that he is to be married.

Later that night, Susan's long lost sister arrives in the night to inform Susan that they are related. Refusing to believe her, Susan asks her to leave. Just then, some ninjas, acting on behalf of Tiger So, infiltrate Lord Evergreen's plantation and kidnap Susan.

The Dragon encounters Susan's sister, and another gentleman (who has no name) at a village tavern, where he has just defeated a very obvious man in women's clothing. The two strangers ask the Dragon if he wishes to come with them. After promising Lord Evergreen that he would return as soon as possible, the Dragon instead goes with the two strangers and declares "there are worse things that I could be doing with my time".

When they eventually get to Tiger's compound, they battle Tiger in a lengthy fight, but find him to be an undefeatable foe. When all looks lost, Susan undoes her top and exposes herself to Tiger. On seeing the female form, Tiger loses his ninja powers and his house begins to burn. The Dragon, Susan, Susan's sister and the unnamed gentleman set off into the sunset as the end credits begin to roll.
