Yuan Ying Fei (Lu Feng) is a wealthy businessman and renowned martial artist specializing in the golden sword technique.

Although he seeks out worthy opponents, the increased Western influence and modernization of the country means the prestige of martial arts and other Chinese traditions have since stagnated, leaving little to no practitioners left to challenge.

They catch Yuan's attention when they use their skills to maneuver through a pit full of traps at one of his restaurants, and are enlisted to harass the remaining merchant escort business in town run by Guan Yun (Lo Mang) and his mother (Wang Lai) and sister Guan San (Annie Liu) into selling their business to him.

Yuan's plan backfires however, as all of them share the same outlook on life and instead become friends, practicing kung fu daily and bringing each other food.

He and Yang eventually figure out they had been set up by Yuan and confront him together in a final showdown where they kill him and successfully avenge their friends.
