Jin Tien-yun (Chen Kuan Tai) is looking for the 3 Evils led by Yan Qing-wang (Wang Lung Wei) in a restaurant, as he despises their “killing and raping”. Tien-yun stands his ground until he is caught of guard by a knife wound from the restaurant owner forcing him to escape from getting killed. Chiang Lin is the student of Shi Chen-chung (Lau Hok Nin) and is often abused by his teacher and his fellow brothers particularly two played by Ai Fei and Chan Lau, with his only friends being Shi’s daughter (Wen Hsueh Erh) and his eldest pupil (Wu Hang Sheng). After Lin goes home for the night, the injured Tien-yun stumbles into his home. Lin nurses him back to health and Tien-yun teaches him his special kung fu despite Lin already having a (poor) teacher.
