Five men dressed as rangers / militants arrive in the mountain village and are talking to the village headman as they are looking for Sorapong.

Among Chat’s team, there are also Rith Luecha and Pipop Pupinyo. This time, Reut brings more men in the village and they hurt the village header to make him talk. Sorapong kills a few men to help the villager header. Sorapong and his family are then chased by ruffians in the mountains. They arrive in another village but are captured by some villagers led by Somsak Chaisongkram. Sorapong has to accept a one to one fighting with spade as shown on the movie poster.

Fighting erupts and You (Sinaporn Philailak) has to stop them. The big boss Thana (Boo Wibunnan) refuses to fire Kiet as he is a good staff. You is Thana's girlfriend but she is also Somchai's mistress. As Kiet has to transport important company goods, Somchai plans to get rid of him. As Kiet's sister has a domestic accident, Kiet cannot go. Vin then leads the convoy, which is attacked by ruffians. Only Vin succeeds to escape as the ruffians believe he falls from a cliff. You pushes to marry with Thana (แม่เลี้ยง) but this latter wishes to inform his son coming back from overseas first. As the convoy is robbed, Somchai accuses Kiet to be the mastermind behind. Pinyo tries to convince Vin to accuse Kiet but as he refuses, he is beaten and left for dead. Thana doesn't trust Somchai so he wishes to replace him by his son. Aware, Somchai hires Chat Mongkolchai to attack the next convoy led by Thana and Kiet. All staff die including Thana. Only Kiet escapes but his sister gets killed as he takes refuge in his home.

Luckily doctor Wana (ปรางค์ วงศ์วัช)(แสนสวย) passes by and saves his life. Pipop Pupinyo and Pao Porapak storm the doctor's house to find the son. Wana chases them on time before any killing occurs.

Following fighting, Virayut understands that Kiet is innocent. Understanding that Somchai doesn't love her, You tries to release Wana but it is too late and she gets killed.

Thai movie เสือภูพาน was released in year 1986. The movie "เสือภูพาน", released under VCD by Lepso ltd, lasts only 56 minutes so for sure the original movie was cut a lot so making the whole story a bit difficult to understand. The movie เสือภูพาน was already released by Happy Time ltd so this version might be longer. Another online version lasts 1h07mn. It was also released under as an international title as "Spy Inferno" (1h26mn). It is a mix of Thai footage and Hong Kong footage done by Filmark production. The movie is in Spanish language. The Thai footage lasts more than one hour. The picture quality of "Spy inferno" is much better than the Thai VCD release. Some scenes are present only in the Filmark version and some only in the Thai VCD version. The Thai actors are not even mentioned in the credits. Soldiers led by Phupan (Krung Srivilai) are attacked by traitors. As their leader is injured, they have to retreat. This group of traitors is led by a big chief (Boo Wibunnan). The big chief leader wears Vietnamese clothes with a communist red star. They are traitors to the Thai nation. His ruffians' team includes Somsak Chaisongkram, Chat Mongkolchai, Krai Kanchit, Pao Porapak, ชูชัย ชัชดา and Pipop Pupinyo. They terrorize and ransack the local population. Kamnan (กำนัน) Lit is taking orders from a female boss (หัวหน้า) called Melan (Nareerat Monsiri). Only two men, Seu (Sorapong Chatree) and Phupan, are organizing resistance against them. Seu’s parents and younger sister were killed by the ruffians. The international version shows the village attack by the ruffians. Subdistrict headman (กำนัน) Yeun refuses to sell his land to the ruffians. Lit tries to intimidate Yeun. Seu helps a singer aggressed by Somsak Chaisongkram (เล่นผัวเมียกัน). Seu is kidnapped by the ruffians but refuses to divulge information on Phupan. The doctor Bua helps Seu to flee. A chase is engaged to catch them back. Kamnan Lit kidnaps Yeun to force Yeun’s daughter (ไปรมา รัชตะ) to be his wife. Her friend Promod helps to release Kamnan Lit. There is a secret informer (หูตา), called Number 13, inside the ruffians’ team. The traitors move to another secret place but Bua leads the Thai army there. Melan is finally uncovered as the hidden informer inside the ruffians. The Thai army, helped by Seu, storm the ruffians’ headquarters but faces strong opposition. Seu appears in hill tribes clothes. All ruffians are killed. Bua dies in the fightings. Thai movie เสือภูพาน reminds of movies such as ชุมแพ 2 (1984) or เสือภูเขา (1979) where a hill tribe character has strong fighting skills.

It is a remake of the movie ชายผ้าเหลือง shot in 1974. This movie has a similar scenario to the version shot in 1974 but it focuses more about the mother suffering. Previous cinematographic versions were released in year 1953 and 1960 (with Mitr Chaibancha and Preeya Roongrueng). The story is about the love of a mother (Pissamai Wilaisak) towards her two sons, Khun Thong (Sorapong Chatree) and Salika (Porjed Kaenpetch). The mother Bua is widow since her husband was killed by bandits robbing her house. Pissamai wishes to have her two sons becoming monks in order to see them with brown robes (ชายผ้าเหลือง). She needs money to prepare the ceremony. She asks to borrow 2000 THB from the local subdistrict headman but he is unwillingly. Hopefully his daughter Kratin (Wiyada Umarin) pushes him. Another young lady, named Lamduan (Naowarat Yooktanun), also helps by offering money. While Salika is away having sweet talks with Malai (Yotsoi Komarachoon), bandits including village leader Chat Mongkolchai and Somsak Chaisongkram attack Bua's house. The mother is slightly injured and bandits flee away. One of them, Na Kha, is injured to the leg by Salika. The next day, Khun Thong realises Na Kha's injury is not done when chasing bandits but when attacking his home. He now understands that Na Kha previously killed his father 10 years ago during a similar robbery. Khun Thong, in self defense, shots Na khan. The mother's love becomes painful because Khun Thong has become an outlaw (เสือ). Malee, Na Kha’s daughter, is then upset with Salika as he is Khun Thong’s brother. Malee’s mother is played by Preeya Roongrueng. In real life, Preeya Roongrueng is also Yotsoi Komarachoon’s mother. Na Khan's son (โสธร รุ่งเรือง) uses Khun Thong's name to raid other houses so Khun Thong has no way to quit. Khun Thong is a Thai Robin Wood and gives help to the poorest. Khun Thong is still a good son and keeps the money he robbed for his mother and his younger brother to enter monkhood (บวชให้แม่). Rejected by both his mother and brother, who refuse dirty money (เงินโจรต้องอยู่กับโจร), Khun Thong decides to work as a peasant and carpenter to earn money from his hard work. But fate is against him. His girlfriend Kratin is trapped by Na khan son's gang, raped and killed. Khun Thong is accused again. His mother is disappointed by his behavior, saying it was not worth to educate him for becoming an outlaw and that feeding milk to him (ค่าน้ำนม) was such a waste. He becomes an outlaw again to catch Na Khan's son. Meanwhile, Na Kha’s son is upset with his sister Malee as she is pregnant with Salika. Sulaleewan Suwanthat protects Malee against her brother’s ire. Khun Thong wants his teammates (Kanchit Kwanpracha, Pipop Pupinyo, Joomjim Khemlek) to surrender and become good people. Finally he catches Na Khan's son, who recognizes all the evil he has done under Khun Thong's name. It is too late as her mother doesn't want to talk to Khun Thong anymore. Willing to die, he misbehaves a last time to force his mother to shoot him. Before dying, Khun Thong and his mother confirm their filial love and Khun Thong can grab Salika's yellow robe as his brother has become a monk. It is certainly one of the best roles of Sorapong Chatree.
