Leung Foon (Tso Tat-wah)'s disciple rescued a songstress from the nephew of a Canton government official, and boxer Ching (Sek Kin) is tasked with arresting Leung in retaliation. Foon takes shelter in a temple but is cut off by Ching's forces. Businessman Ku Fuk takes him in and he changes his name to Leung Biu. Ching convinces burglar Leung Koon (Lam Kau) to steal in Foon's name and Ku's niece (Law Yim-hing) mistakes Koon as Foon and hides him in Ku's home, also assuming the alias Leung Biu...Leung Foon takes the helm at Wong Fei-hung's absence and teaches lion dancing in the film together with other legendary kung fu figures Wong Ching-ho and Beggar So. The eventful plot takes inspiration from Western thrillers, full of twists and turns that touch on several different dramatic themes. A film that takes the Wong Fei-hung franchise into new territories.
