In 1864, the death of the emperor of China's Taiping rebellion gives the rival Ch'ings an opportunity to attack. They break into the Taiping capital; the emperor's son goes into hiding, taking with him his family's invaluable sword. The loyal army chief, Gao Dekum, wants to find the young man and reinstall him as emperor of the heavenly kingdom of great peace. But he is double-crossed by Bei Wenbing. Several years later, after ardent training in kung fu, Gao's son Yulong and his daughter are ready to avenge their father's death and lead the Taiping loyalists into battle against the Ch'ings. A showdown between Yulong and Bei appears inevitable.
A Dinastia Qing foi derrubada, terminando o feudalismo de dois mil anos na China. O primeiro país do mundo a se tornar uma sociedade escravista da sociedade primitiva e, consequentemente, o primeiro país do mundo a se transformar em sociedade feudal da sociedade escravista foi finalmente uma república. No entanto, o comércio de ópio estava crescendo, não devido à pressão do poder estrangeiro, mas graças aos senhores da guerra chineses domésticos e governo corrupto. A história do contrabandista britânico foi usada para fazer algumas perguntas provocadoras sobre a tradição e cultura chinesas, de forma indireta, e este é o significado por trás desse filme.
