Veteran boxer, Sung Wu-yang is beaten up by Wan Hung-chieh and saved by his daughter, Ying-ying and a disciple, Chao Chin-hao.

On the way, Chao Chin-hao rescues a girl, Yen Chu-hung from Wan Hung-chieh and his thugs. At the institute Chin-hao discovers that the manager, Meng Tung-shan, his son, Meng Tien-hsiung, and a thug, Chen Lang, scorn Sung Wu-yang and the institute’s coach, Sun Hsin-pei, and are bullying the locals. Chen Lang becomes Chao Chin-hao’s bitter enemy, and the latter leaves the institute to further his training with Sun Hsin-pei in order to oppose Wan Hung-chieh, Chen Lang, Meng Tung-shan and his son.When a jealous former classmate, Han Lung injures Chao Chin-hao’s hands in a fight, Yen Chu-hung rescues him and they fall in love. Soon, though not fully recovered Chin-hao is picked to fight in the great tournament. The same evening, old Sung Wu-yang, dies. Meng Tung-shan now finds little use for Han Lung and has his eyes put out. After Chao Chin-hao wins the trophy, the blind Han Lung kills Meng Tung Shan and his son, and gains Yen Chu-hung’s love.
