Story:

China – 17th century: The province of Henan is in the grip of terror. The evil demon Heihu escapes his magical prison where he was locked away for 1000 years. Obsessed with vengeance and more powerful than ever before, he leaves misery and destruction in his wake on a mission to conquer the world.

Powerless against the hideous demon and his criminal crew – the “Black Foxes” – the Mandarin landowners and peasants of Henan turn to the knights of the Shaolin monks for help. They know these guardians of good and justice also protect the weak and innocent, and remember that three Shaolin knights – the Three Shaolin Heroes – conquered and captured Heihu in the past. But that was 1000 years ago…Who is able to replace them now? Sanzang, the great Shaolin master, communicates with the divine spirits of his ancestors for advice. They suggest searching for the current reincarnations of the Shaolin Three – for only they will be able to defeat Heihu once more. But when Sanzang finds them at last, he is in for a surprise...

The current reincarnations of the Shaolin Three, Cheng, Tang, and Hua – two boys and a girl – are practically children! Children, who still have to learn the art of Kung fu and develop the discipline of true Shaolin masters, before they can confront the demon and his crew. For Sanzang this means great responsibility, but for Cheng, Tang, and Hua, it is an awesome adventure. For beyond the tough apprenticeship they must endure – including endless training sessions, complex tasks and tests – lies a whole world of magic and mystery to be discovered: Sacred books possessing fantastic powers, dark underground chambers guarded by dragons, bewitched forests, caves full of deadly traps, and castle ruins haunted by ghosts are just a few of the things that distract them from their studies.

By performing crazy antics during night time escapades, having dangerous experiences on forbidden explorations, and taking wild risks with Heihu himself, they get into as much mischief as they accomplish heroic deeds. Both brave and rebellious, they bicker and conspire together. Not still children, but not yet heroes, they are...the SHAOLIN WUZANG!
