Jimmy Wang Yu plays Nieh Cheng, a champion sword-fighter who is forced to go into hiding when his school is attacked by political rivals and his teacher and all his fellow students killed. A year later he is sought out by Yen, a minister-in-exile (Tien Feng) who requires his services in a political assassination, one that will enable Nieh to avenge the death of his teacher. Despite the offer of great payment and a ceremony in which he becomes the minister's sworn brother, Nieh declines the job because he's the sole support of his mother and sister. Years later, after his mother has died and his sister is married, he seeks out the minister and accepts the job. But first he has to locate his old sweetheart (Chiao Chiao) to provide her with gifts, which she at first tearfully declines, and spend a night with her before he goes off on what is essentially a suicide mission.
