For ten odd years, WONG KEI-YING has travelled from town to town with his son FEI-HUNG trying to earn an honest living by performing kung fu and selling the Nine Tigers Pills. By the time they have arrived at the Province of Guangdong, HUNG suggests they should consider a return to their hometown Foshan, which is agreed by YING. HUNG is thrilled by his father’s decision. Along the way, HUNG is so engrossed by the lion dance that he has lost sight of his father. Having no clue as where YING is, he decides to head for Foshan on his own. HUNG meets a pickpocket Kid KWAI in the restaurant, who has later stolen his Nine Tiger Pills. Being cold and broke, HUNG feels completely helpless. But luck is on his side – he gets to know LAM SAI-WING, a butcher who is willing to put him up. The next day, HUNG follows WING to his butcher store, where they meet KAN KIN and his assistants from the Chivalry Gang who have come for money……
HUNG hurries to save WING but suffers a sneak attack from KIN along the way. Luckily YING arrives in time to offer him support. YING decides to leave Foshan and PO tries to persuade him to stay claiming that HUNG needs a good rest before he can recover. YING is invited to a gathering at Chun Ying Hall, where he meets TAI SHIU-TIN again, who upsets him much by fixing him with a glare. There YING has also learnt that TIN has become the leader of the Foshan Chivalry Gang. CHIU BAR-SHAN has come to make trouble and TIN offers to have a fight with SHAN. HUNG is surprisingly pleased to see TIN in the street. TIN, who used to be an apprentice to YING, brings HUNG to see his sister TAI SIU-TING. The representative of the Fruit Trade Association CHAN CHEK, whose palm was slit by YING years ago, comes to seek revenge. The two of them are miraculously reconciled after a fierce fight……
YING who cannot bear to see HUNG cause trouble again is determined to get his son out of Foshan. YU is sad to learn that KWAI, in order to rescue her from being a prostitute, has been trying to supplement their income by moonlighting as a pickpocket. KWAI promises YU that she will never steal again. YU explains to YING that HUNG was only trying to save her and didn’t mean to cause anyone trouble. A thought pops into his head as YING is listening. HUNG begs YING to let him stay in Foshan while YING needs him to make a pact to guarantee that he will not be involved in any more fighting. LEUNG FOON, the son of a local tycoon LEUNG CHOI, is proud of his martial arts skills and calls himself undefeated, without knowing that all of his competitors have been bribed by his assistant CHAN AH-SO. Knowing that HUNG has made a pact with YING not to fight, KIN has sent a group of his men to assault HUNG……
CHOI tries to bribe HUNG hoping that he will pretend to have been beaten by FOON. YING turns him down and points out that FOON has really got spoiled. As arranged by SO, FOON comes and asks to be YING’s apprentice but is rejected. TIN, on the other hand, offers to be FOON’s mentor straight away. FOON is glad to see TING again while TING, knowing that he has come with the only intention to beat HUNG, has a very low opinion of him. TIN is totally stunned by YU’s guzhang (a Chinese musical instrument) skills. Knowing that she is being hassled by a bloke, TIN flies off to get her out of the predicament. YING happens to discover that LUK YUET-HO, owner of Wan Loi Inn, has got a wooden carving. He is so concerned to find out more about the carving but HO seems to have a secret to hide. YING decides to reopen his martial arts club Po Chi Lam, which gives a great thrill to everyone……
KWAI is arrested. HUNG comes to realize he has misunderstood KWAI and heads back to break the news to YU. YU has got no choice. She decides to sign a life-long contract with the brothel so that she will have enough money to bribe the prison guards. TIN has bid a great deal of money for YU’s first night, during which YU is only asked to give a guzhang performance. This makes YU believe that TIN is a real gentleman. KWAI is released. HUNG feels so guilty towards her that he promises to help raise money for her and her sister. To fulfill his promise, HUNG decides to TATe part in the Lion Dance Competition without letting YING know, in the hope of winning a cash prize. FOON is confident that he is going to participate in the Lion Dance Competition on behalf of the Chivalry Gang and gets told off for this by TIN. FOON is not going to give up……
HUNG has won the Lion Dance Competition and TIN is worried that this will pose a threat to the position of the Chivalry Gang. TIN decides to kick FOON out, and KIN, who loathes FOON too, gives him a punch so as to release his anger. FOON is beaten severely, which alerts him to the fact that CHOI has been bribing his competitors and that he himself is in no sense invincible. He is so angry that he has immediately dismissed SO. HUNG passes the money to KWAI, during which they run into MUI who, later, asks them to go fishing with her. The Chivalry Gang is largely discredited by its failure in the Lion Dance Competition. HUNG feels so sorry about it and makes a formal apology to TIN. TIN is very unhappy and means to drink himself into oblivion. YU cannot do anything but to give him some words of consolation……
HUNG TATes TING and KWAI up to the mountain to look for some medicinal herbs. HUNG gives KWAI a medicinal herb and KWAI, who is thrilled to bits, TATes it as one of the most precious gifts she has ever had. HO who fancies YING pretends to be sick so that she will have an excuse to go to Po Chi Lam. The Chivalry Gang have got into trouble but TIN manages to get round the problem. KWAI keeps working all day. She is so exhausted that she finally collapses in a heap. HUNG suggests KWAI goes and gets a new job at PO’s cafe. In order to bribe the officials to offer him a higher post, SO keeps on asking for money from SIU. While discussing business with CHOI, FOON has spotted WING learning kung fu from HUNG, which makes him ever so jealous. FOON tries every possible way to woo TING, but in vain. Although having been rejected so many times, FOON is not going to give up……
HUNG breaks into the Spring Banquet Hall to save KWAI while YU calls the police to arrest YIN. KWAI, with her true identity back, goes to put up at TING’s home. Being so desperate for money to land himself a higher post, SO has stolen SIU’s precious jewel which is inherited from her ancestors. SIU tries her best to stop him but is pushed down to the ground during the confusion. SIU is interested in a well-paid job which she has learnt from a recruitment notice in the street. To TATe the job, she will have to stay overseas for two years. But for SO’s sake, she has decided to go. YIN is finally released and YU is worried that she will come to seek revenge. KWAI has had a crush on HUNG. She gets a little upset after knowing that TING too has fallen in love with the lad. When HUNG is teaching WING kung fu, FOON gets to peek at them from the corner of the street. This has been discovered by HUNG but FOON denies it……
To seek revenge, TIN sets fire to the headquarters of the Po Shang Gang and all the goods owned by tycoon MOK TIN-LUNG are all burnt to ashes. LUNG and TAT ask YING to be the leader of the Civil Defense Organization, hoping this will erase all the fights among various martial arts clubs. YING accepts the offer for the sake of Foshan, which irritates TIN a bit. TIN is unhappy with YING’s decision and describes it as sheer hypocrisy. HUNG meets a stranger on the mountain, who has stolen some medicinal herbs from him and leaves behind a wooden Buddha carving. FOON admits that he has been secretly learning kung fu from HUNG. To his surprise, HUNG promises to teach him real kung fu but he will have to do something in return for HUNG for every proper lesson given. HUNG needs FOON to help WING out at the butcher store and FOON is so popular that the pork is all sold out within seconds……
TING lacks the courage to declare her love to HUNG. HUNG and KWAI have accidentally fallen into a burrow, where they find another wooden Buddha carving. HUNG gives the carving to KWAI as a gift, which makes her extremely happy. HO’s business is going down the pan. She decides to follow PO’s example and provides her customers with free food samples, which irritates PO beyond measure. HO tries every possible way to approach YING and gets teased about it by PO and NGO. The three of them have soon got into a quarrel, which annoys YING no end. KWAI happens to meet LUNG’s wife NG TAT-HAN and gets along well with her. HAN has been looking for her long-lost daughter all these years. HO claims she knows the whereabouts of KAU but YING doesn’t believe her. YING urges CHEUNG, a government official, to strengthen security in the city but CHEUNG hasn’t shown much response……
HUNG refuses to TATe the praise and claims that it is TIN who has caught the thief. KIN spreads a rumor that TIN has saved HUNG’s life. WING tries to kill the rumor by telling the truth but gets beaten up for this. TIN’s reputation has been ruined. He, along with the Chivalry Gang, is dismissed by his boss CHEUK who has decided to hire YING’s Civil Defense Team as a replacement. TIN is so depressed that he means to drink himself into oblivion. Being drunk and disorderly, TIN gets into a fight with others and is arrested at once. YING tries to intercede with TAT for TIN. YU gives TIN a few words of comfort and encouragement, which has touched him deeply. He has decided to pull himself together again. TIN has got something urgent to do and has to cancel the date with YU. He asks KIN to pass a letter to her, which however is lost when KIN is busy looking after MUI. YU who has been waiting for TIN to show up is sorely disappointed……
PO lets FAI put up at her home. YING is a bit too conservative and just cannot put up with FAI’s behavior. HUNG continues with the treatment for the stranger. Believing that the stranger knows kung fu, HUNG plans to try him out. In the meantime, HO comes along. She TATes hold of him and comes to realize the man in front of her is KAU. HO is injured by KAU and looks to YING for comfort. YING, on the other hand, is very glad to have found KAU finally. PO and FAI walk down the street hand in hand. HO disapproves of PO’s behavior and reminds her to act like a decent Chinese lady. YIN grabs the guzhang from YU and forces her to sleep with a man for money. In the nick of time, TIN has arrived to stop her. YIN points out that he is too poor to help YU but her sneering comments have miraculously brought his ambition back. HAN brings KWAI to see LUNG. LUNG, however, does not seem very friendly and warns KWAI not to TATe advantage of HAN……
YING arrives just in time to save PO and FAI. YING tells them off for their indecent behavior and further blames FAI for failing to protect his loved one. Having heard what he said, FAI feels a deep sense of guilt while PO is rather disgusted. FAI is planning on setting up a department store and PO offers to lend him money, which is not supported by YING. LUNG much appreciates TIN’s bravery and appoints him to oversee the daily management of his piers. YU is very pleased for TIN about this. FAI believes that a man has to have a successful career to win a woman’s heart. FOON much agrees with him and would like to invest in his department store. CHOI, however, thinks that it is a question that really needs serious consideration. MUI is caught in trouble again. KIN, who throws away his dignity to save MUI, bows his head to the ground to offer apologies……
KWAI and MUI go shopping together, during which they run into HUNG. MUI is not happy to see them so close and means to pull KWAI back to her side. To express her anger, MUI even goes to see YING to lodge a complaint. HAN brings KWAI home and lets her try on some new clothes. KWAI happens to discover a half piece of flour bag cloth. In the meantime, LUNG comes along. Believing that KWAI has stolen the cloth, he flies into a rage. KWAI is shocked to learn that LUNG and HAN are her biological parents but, as she has lost the other half of flour bag cloth, she dares not tell them the truth. HUNG encourages KWAI to reveal to LUNG their real relationship but sadly, LUNG doesn’t believe her words and even labels her as a greedy, scheming girl who seeks to TATe advantage of him. KWAI feels extremely disappointed and puts all the blame on HUNG……
LUNG is still suspicious of KWAI but KWAI is confident that LUNG will get to know her better some day. PO offers to lend money to FAI again, which worries YING greatly. YING gets framed by FAI but lacks the evidence to prove it. CHOI is shocked to know that FOON has invested huge sums in FAI’s department store. He is much worried that this is just a swindle. HO is going to TATe revenge for YING but the plan is finally thwarted by FAI. Thinking that it is all plotted by YING, PO comes to give him a terrible telling-off. HUNG happens to spot FAI and his business partner HENRY, who seems to be having a quarrel in the street. This makes HUNG believe that there must be some strange goings-on between them. The truth has finally come out and FAI has fled with the money. Having lost her money and her supposed lover, PO is plunged into despair. FOON’s misTATe has caused a great financial loss to CHOI……
Having thrown all of CHOI’s money away, FOON attempts to steal the precious jewelry from his mother FONG for sale. But out of the blue, all the money gained from the sale of the jewelry is lost in the gambling games. He and the whole family have nowhere to go but the streets. HUNG offers to put them up at his home but FOON, thinking that he is only shedding crocodile tears, turns him down without hesitation. Knowing that PO has not yet got over FAI, YING comes to give her a few words of consolation. HUNG goes uphill to pay KAU a visit. From KAU he has learnt a special kung fu flick. KAU can hear YING’s footsteps coming nearer and he is too scared that he has slipped away at once. Suffering from hunger and thirst, FONG finally falls into a dead faint. FOON has no choice but to urge YING to put his parents up. Having had a conversation with YING, FOON shows repentance and decides to look for a job……
KAU knows he won’t be able to beat YING and immediately flees to WING’s home for shelter. Not knowing that YING is looking for KAU, HUNG does not say a word about KAU’s whereabouts. FOON has secured a job as a rickshaw driver. TING is surprisingly pleased to see how much FOON has changed. HUNG cannot bear to see FOON being bullied by other rickshaw drivers and manages to get him out of the trouble. To supplement his income, FOON decides to serve as a punching bag at night for anyone wishing to alleviate their stress. TING is shocked to find it out and immediately turns to HUNG for help. LUNG and HAN are suddenly assaulted. KWAI flies off to protect her mother and gets stabbed in the back. LUNG feels so guilty for having suspected KWAI all these days. KWAI, on the other hand, is so glad that she has finally won LUNG’s approval……
KWAI is at a loss what to do as she really doesn’t want to hurt TING. SHAN comes to seek revenge by TATing off the signboard of the Chivalry Gang. In the meantime, HUNG passes by and spots everything. He tries to stop SHAN and the two of them have soon got into a fight. HUNG attacks SHAN with Stiletto Fist – the kung fu flick he learnt from KAU, which surprises TIN beyond measure. KAU is actually the one who has stolen the kung fu book from TIN’s father but TIN has misTATen YING for the thief all these years. The fact that HUNG is so conversant with Stiletto Fist has further convinced TIN that YING is a thief and a hypocrite. YING and HUNG bring KAU to see TIN but TIN, who hates them more than anything, does not accept their explanation. KIN writes a letter to KWAI asking her out for a date with HUNG. In an attempt to make KWAI confess her love to him, HUNG pretends that he is going to jump off the cliffs……
PO offers some words of comfort to HUNG who is perplexed about his relationships with KWAI and TING. YING would like to step down as the leader of the Civil Defense Organization but TAT rejects his request. As instructed by TIN, KIN and his assistants have disguised themselves as members of the civil defense group and made a complete mess of the place, hoping that this will help ruin YING’s reputation. YU is glad that TIN is highly regarded by LUNG while TIN has promised her a happy life. TING is accompanied by FOON all the time and is gradually recovering. To cheer her up, FOON even asks HUNG to teach him how to make a paper grasshopper. HO expresses her love for YING but is rejected straight away. She feels really heartbroken. TING gets deeply touched when she sees the paper grasshopper made by FOON. KWAI, on the other hand, is totally disappointed in HUNG as she has misTATen the paper grasshopper for a gift from HUNG……
HUNG cannot make KWAI stay, and his friends and family are all there to comfort him. HUNG tries not to think about KWAI at the moment and decides to concentrate on the daily management of the Civil Defense Organization instead. KAU sneaks into LUNG’s warehouse, from which he has stolen a china doll. HUNG finds some opium inside the doll. YING suspects that someone is involved in opium smuggling and immediately reports to CHEUNG. Before CHEUNG arrives, TIN manages to remove the goods in which opium is hidden. CHEUNG has found no opium at the end. He grabs this opportunity to speak ill of YING again in front of TAT. LUNG gives TIN a huge sum of money as a reward. With the money, TIN can finally save YU from the brothel. TING falls ill. TIN hates everyone from Po Chi Lam and forbids FOON to see TING. CHEUNG’s staff mean to make things difficult for the Civil Defense Organization, thus getting the two groups into a serious fight……
To seek revenge, CHEUNG decides to have YING’s gang locked up in jail. TAT has investigated into the matter and found that YING is innocent. YING is then released. YING tries to intercede with CHEUNG but is rejected. HO comes to offer support to YING and has finally made up with PO. KAU sneaks into the prison to save HUNG and his friends, which is however discovered by CHEUNG. HUNG is caught on the spot. KWAI learns from KIN that HUNG is being in trouble. Immediately she hurries back to Foshan and begs LUNG to save HUNG. LUNG agrees to her request on condition that she will return to Hong Kong to carry on with her studies after everything is settled. Everyone is surprised to see HUNG and his mates back home without being hurt. Knowing that it is KWAI who has rescued him from danger, HUNG feels so grateful and promises to wait for her until she has finished her studies……
LUNG who has been smuggling government gold decides to entrust the business to TIN, which gives TIN a great thrill. During the delivery, TIN has accidentally left a bar of gold behind, which is later found and kept by CHOI. PO suggests to HUNG that they may hypnotize KAU, through which he may get his memories back. KAU seems to have recalled something but is extremely frightened by it. With the help of the gold bar found by CHOI, HUNG manages to smash TIN’s smuggling ring. YING and HUNG persuade TIN to turn away from crime but TIN doesn’t TATe their advice. TIN happens to mention KAU during his conversation with LUNG. LUNG seems to be pondering over something when he hears KAU’s name. LUNG and KAU used to be blood brothers. But LUNG was desperate for the kung fu book and sought to push KAU down the cliffs so that he would be the only one to own the book……
CHUENG formally requests the central government to dissolve the civil defense group. HUNG has no choice but to turn to LUNG for help. LUNG is ready to help, but only if HUNG promises to separate from KWAI and not to see her again for the rest of his life. HUNG, however, declines the offer. TIN feels very perplexed and decides to go uphill to visit YING’s tomb. HUNG is surprised to see TIN there and comes to suspect that he is the killer of YING. TIN is not willing to explain what on earth has happened. YU offers to defend TIN but gets blamed by TIN for being too nosy. KWAI asks LUNG why he has been trying to keep her and HUNG apart. LUNG gets irked and urges TIN to send KWAI to Hong Kong immediately. Along the way, KWAI manages to escape and she turns to HUNG for help at once. Everybody is thrilled to have found YING, who, however, has gone into a deep coma. LUNG tries but fails to kill YING……
LUNG allows KWAI to stay in Foshan but she is locked up at home all the time. YU and TING find that TIN has changed an awful lot. They get so disappointed in him that they decide to put up at Po Chi Lam temporarily. Having overcome his psychological block, HUNG is going to give YING an acupuncture treatment. Everybody has tried the best possible means to bring YING back to consciousness and HUNG is truly grateful to all of them. Dr. CHING who has come to treat YING ends up trying to kill him with a deadly poison. Much to his surprise, HUNG gets an anonymous note revealing the plot to kill his father. He can therefore TATe YING back from the verge of death in the nick of time. But not long after, Dr. CHING is murdered for no reason. HAN brings KWAI to see HUNG, during which HUNG expresses his suspicion that LUNG has something to do with CHING’s death. KWAI doubts it, though……
YING manages to remove the bullet from HUNG’s body and saves him from death. From an overheard conversation, WING happens to discover where the smugglers and LUNG are meeting. YING then goes to the place with TAT to see what is going on. YING gets an anonymous note advising that the place is full of explosives. He runs off at once and stays out of danger while TAT is seriously injured. YING again gets clued up about the secret meeting between LUNG and the smugglers. This is in fact a trap set up for him and TIN is shot to death in the chaos. LUNG has long suspected that TIN is the one who has betrayed him. TIN, before he draws his last breath, reveals to HUNG all the illegal activities in which LUNG is involved. HUNG and YING hurry to the real meeting place and try to stop the smuggling. With courage and determination, the two of them have eventually defeated LUNG. TIN has explained himself in his last letter……
