Revolutionary Tieyun (Felix Wong) and his like-minded comrades raid a desert and smuggle gold there, preparing to purchase firearms for another uprising. During their way, they were ambushed by Man Tianhong (Ni Hongjie), the Prince of Pok Yee Kak. During the critical moment, they were fortunately rescued by the sincere official Governor Zhuo (Ti Lung). Zhuo is visionary and believes that fate the country lies on Tieyun.
