Chung, a delivery boy under constant pressure from his demanding father, is sent to a local kung‑fu school to deliver an order. He demonstrates his own martial‑arts ability by punching a training bag and demanding payment, then confronts the instructor. Later, a disabled gang leader named Chien‑Pe taunts him; Chung beats the thugs but is fired from his job. Seeking revenge, Chien‑Pe turns to his boss, Tai Chung, to track down Chung.
