Plot summary: Shao Ba is an errand boy working for gangsters in a small village, who is constantly the object of bullying and abuse. He falls hopelessly in love with Kam Yin-Fei [Ho Hwa], the daughter of noodle merchant [Ging-Shun Mau]. Unlike Shao Ba, the girl has an excellent command of the martial arts and rejects him. Shao Ba studies his boss's technique and improves his proficiency so he can win her favor. After he beats up a gang of thugs in the marketplace, Kam Yin-Fei tells Shao Ba that his boss and teacher is a crook; he is ultimately obliged to admit it.
