侵华战争时期，日本人将掠得的北京猿人头骨偷运回国，途中沉没，成为一桩疑案。当年日本人将头骨化石偷运回国，隐藏几十年后，在和平环境下重新进行研究。他们将头骨化石中的DNA残片提取出来，进行培育，然后送入太空，据说这样便可以凭借太空中的粒子幅射，使其蕴育成熟。不料，载着北京猿人胚胎的飞船失事，坠入海岛，而北京猿人却成功地诞生了。
而王祖贤扮演的中国美丽女间谍的使命就是将北京猿人偷运回国，从此便和日本科学家展开了明争暗斗。最后，双方不分输赢，而是达成了共识：北京猿人不是任何一国的财富，他们属于大自然。于是，猿人一家三口和一只同样由基因技术复制出来的猛玛象被放归了自然。

============================================
①1928年，新兴财阀伍代家的主人五代由介正在家中的客厅里为即将赴美的长子英介举行送别会。会上，一群人开始谈论满州的局势。英介和乔介都认为，如果张作霖的军队对在满州的日本人的生命财产采取强硬的手段，在满日本人有了危险之时，日本就应该相应采取措施，让关东军出兵去解决张作霖军队的武装。乔介到满州后创建了五代公司的运输公司，还借此进行贩毒和恐怖活动。关东军因迟迟没有得到天皇的出兵命令而坐卧不安，便暗中策划了暗杀张作霖的行动。1931年9月18日，关东军在沈阳郊外的柳条沟炸毁了张作霖乘坐的列车，却制造舆论说是国民党军队故意挑起战争。随后五代一家乘机与军方大做买卖发了横财。英介从美国归来后就被由介派到中国东北经营炼铁业。"上海事变”后，由介的长女由纪子的男友柘植即将出征，怀着复杂的心情，由纪子去为柘植送行。
②日本侵华战争步步深入，五代家也发生了一系列悲欢离合的事情。五代由介的次子俊介为自寻出路而离家出走，并爱上了有夫之妇温子。二人非常想在一起长久生活，但温子在丈夫的高压之下始终拿不定主意，心情非常痛苦。由介的次女顺子与左翼学生耕平相爱，因为参加了反战运动，耕平被当局逮捕。后来尽管出狱了，等待他的却是一张入伍命令。顺子鼓励耕平一定要好好地活下去，一定要回去见她。由介长女由纪子的男友柘植已经成为一名中尉，几经周折他终于调回东京，却不慎卷入刺杀军务局长永田的案件之中，从而与由纪子失去了联系。另外，抗日游击队员徐在林与女游击队员全明福相爱，徐和"满洲省委”派来的代表在部队的撤退问题上闹翻，徐在林坚持逃跑，全明福却中弹身死去。赵瑞芳是一名中国富家小姐，参加了"抗日运动”，却与日本医生服部相爱。由于服部的掩护，她躲过了宪兵的抓捕逃至上海。
③1937年，日本侵华战争全面爆发。由介长女由纪子受父亲的影响，加上相爱的对象柘植因卷入刺杀军务局长永田案而失去一切联系，渐渐放弃了当初对爱的执著，答应嫁给一名金融巨头的儿子。由介三女儿顺子与所爱的应征入伍的左翼学生耕平也失去了联系，但因受耕平反战思想的影响，她最终逃离了家庭，参加了和平运动，还偶然地知道了耕平正在参加援助中国的抗日运动。由介次子俊介曾因反对侵略中国而被捕入狱，出狱后也被征召入伍。作为炮灰的俊介来到决战之地诺门坎，亲眼目睹了柘植中尉在战场上死去。由于遭到苏联红军的毁灭性打击，日军仓皇撤至海拉尔，再也无以为继。侥幸不死的俊介失魂落魄地走在日军侨民逃难的人群之中。
