English Summary:

The film is set in Foshan, China sometime in the late 19th century during the Qing dynasty. Liu Yongfu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, invites Wong Fei-hung on board his ship to watch a lion dance. Sailors on board a nearby French ship hear the sound of firecrackers and mistakenly think that Liu's ship is firing at them so they return fire and injure the dancers. Wong picks up the lion head and finishes the performance. Liu comments about the perilous situation China is in, and then gives Wong a hand fan inscribed with all the unequal treaties signed between China and other countries.

Wong is the martial arts instructor of the local militia in Foshan. He also runs his own traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Po-chi-lam, and has three apprentices: "Porky Wing", "Bucktooth" So, and Kai. He meets Siu-kwan, the daughter of a sworn brother of his grandfather. Even though she is around the same age as him, he still has to address her as "13th Aunt" as she is considered more "senior" than him. They have romantic feelings for each other but their relationship is restrained because it is taboo in the conservative Chinese society of their time.

Hungarian Summary:

A XIX. században Kínában is megjelennek a nyugati világ hódítói. Wong Fei-hung, a harcművészetek kiváló mestere nem enged nyomásuknak, szembeszáll az embereket terrorizáló idegenekkel. Hamarosan rádöbben arra, hogy a fegyveresek rabszolgáknak gyűjtik be a tartomány lakóit. Szépséges rokonát is elrabolják, hogy eladják prostituáltnak. Wongnak minden erejére és tudására szüksége van, hogy maroknyi harcosával helyt álljon a hódítók és a kantoni kiskirályokkal szemben...
