In Republic era China, former bandit-turned-soldier Han Peichang (Wong Lik) mutinies against his superior, Division Commander Yang (Wang Han-chen), slaughtering him and his entire household and assumes control of his estate and army.
Knowing they are at a severe disadvantage against an entire militia, they recruit another compatriot, a merchant escort and martial artist Liang Guoren (Philip Kwok), for help.
That night, they enjoy a lavish feast and return home blind drunk with the exception of Daying, who secretly takes a grappling hook Chen used during his performance.
Unaware that the guns are from his own supply base, Han is impressed and personally dines with them whereupon Fu convinces him to murder a head commander and take the position for himself, promising his support.
As soldiers surround and begin breaking into the storage shed, Liang stays behind to hold them off while Chen and Fu escape and is killed in the ensuing gunfire.
