Dai Tianli (played by Weizi), the young master of the Dai family in Chengde, Rehe, is a fearless, upright man who always keeps his word. After killing two foreigners, he becomes a wanted criminal and flees his hometown to escape the uproar. Before long, the Qing dynasty falls and the Republic takes its place. Tianli eventually makes his way back to Rehe, only to find that his father was nearly executed by firing squad and his master had his leg tendons severed by a fellow disciple, Natuolu (played by Zhang Yonggang). Meanwhile, the lovestruck Na Suzhi (played by Yue Lina) has been waiting for Tianli to return so they can marry. This man certainly never gets a moment's rest. To make matters worse, Tianli also gets mixed up with the Rod Gang, a band of beggars.
