What happens

Little Tiger of Canton (simplified Chinese: 广东小老虎; traditional Chinese: 廣東小老虎; pinyin: Guǎngdōng xiǎo lǎohǔ), also known as Cub Tiger From Kwang Tung, is a 1973 Hong Kong martial arts action film directed by Ngai Hoi-Fung and starring Jackie Chan. Chan was 17 when footage for the film was shot in 1971, and it is considered to be his first starring role. A re-edited version of the film, Master with Cracked Fingers, was later released in 1979.
