Chan Dai-Ha (Frankie Lam) sells Chinese desserts and falls in love with a wealthy girl named Gei Hao-Yee (Kenix Kwok).

However, due to a law in the town forbidding unmarried pregnancy, the villagers are angry and want her punished.

Subsequently, Two (Jason Lam) and Three (Jack Wu) are adopted by the evil marshal Man Sai-Hung's (Liu Kai Chi) wife, who did not want her husband to know that their real sons had died.

Though because they are poor, Four (Don Li) and Ten were sold to a circus whose leader was extremely strict and disciplined harshly.

The remaining sons were taught by their mother, and One (Lai Lok-yi), who was the most mature, helped Dai-Ha with his business.

At first it seems pretty even because the brothers have special powers with one disadvantage, limestone which weakens them like the way kryptonite is to Superman.

Although code-switching has been very common in Hong Kong as of the last 10–20 years, such practice is unheard of for the time period of the drama, and, in most circumstances, unlikely, considering the historically non-existent knowledge of English for the characters.
