Hsiao Hai (Ting Wa-Chung) is a kung-fu servant of the big boss (Lung Fei). Bullied and abused, he finds himself taken under the wing of the boss when he stops some troublemakers rising in status. Hsiao Hai begins to learn the boss's dreaded chicken fist and also falls in love with a girl, Shao Hua, who works at a food stall. Shao Hua and her father are mantis-fist experts and inform Hsiao that his boss is not the upstanding man he appears to be.

Two Ming patriots spend their days helping the weak and rescuing damsels in distress. This alum gets them in trouble, though, as they are captured and then volunteered to go after the fearsome Dragon Gang, a tribe of bandits that have been terrorizing the land. They must fight their way through the ranks, including a Taoist monk and his nearly invulnerable "demon," before they can finally face off against the beautiful and sinister leader of the Dragon Gang.
