In Jinling City in the 16th year of the Republic of China, mist and rain were hazy along the Qinhuai River, hiding unknown undercurrents. Lin Feng, a down-and-out scholar, strays into a side world due to his family's financial difficulties, and follows the "Ghost Hand" Chen Lao to wander in the gray area. When the Western Chamber of Commerce held an auction in Jinling, openly selling the national treasures stolen from the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty and taking the opportunity to make money, Mr. Chen decided to lead a group of unscrupulous experts to set up a trap to seize the treasures.
At the auction site, Lin Feng disguised himself as a rich man and sneaked in, but was surprised to find that plainclothes police were secretly watching. During the fierce bidding, the venue suddenly fell into darkness and chaos. Lin Feng took the opportunity to seize the treasure, but was intercepted and killed by men in black. After a narrow escape, the appearance of a traitor in the team almost ruined the plan.
General Chen used his tricks to confuse the enemy by using traitors to deliver false news. In the end, the national treasure was secretly returned to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the ill-gotten gains from the Chamber of Commerce were also robbed from the rich and given to the poor. This dangerous treasure-hunting operation not only demonstrated the ingenuity and passionate passion of the gangsters, but also composed a legendary hymn of "partiality" to maintain justice and protect the country and the people in troubled times.
