At the end of the Ming Dynasty, treacherous officials were in power. The loyal generals of the court were framed and their homes were confiscated. Only the young son Yuan Chengzhi (played by Yuen Biao) escaped. Sixteen years later, Yuan Chengzhi grew up and accidentally got a martial arts secret book and a treasure map, and began his treasure hunt. During this period, Yuan Chengzhi witnessed the collusion between officials and bandits in the Ming Dynasty, and the people were displaced. Influenced by his father, he always wanted to seek a way to strengthen the country. During the journey, Yuan Chengzhi met Dorgon, a like-minded wealthy businessman, and traveled together. During the period, he encountered kidnappers and was involved in the grievances between the Jianghu gangs and the Five Poison Sect. In the end, Yuan Chengzhi resolved the grievances with his open mind and superb martial arts. In order to weaken the threat of the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chengzhi decided to assassinate Huang Taiji, but found that Dorgon was actually a prince of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, according to the records of the treasure map, Yuan Chengzhi finally found the treasure and presented it to King Chuang, hoping that King Chuang could restore the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming emperor had no ambition, Yuan Chengzhi was ostracized by the King of Rebellion, and the power of the Manchus grew stronger. Yuan Chengzhi felt that his ambitions were difficult to achieve, and he had no choice but to go abroad in despair.
