The Ching emperor, Yung Cheng, is a brutal ruler, who organizes the “Flying Guillotine” gang to eliminate opponents of his rule. One of the gang members, Ma Teng (Ti Lung) deserts, in revulsion against the emperor’s cruelty, and the enraged monarch orders his henchmen Suen Pao-ying (Lo Lieh) and Kang Chen-feng (Frankie Wei Hung) to catch the deserter. Together with his wife and small son, Ma Tzu-hsiang, the deserter flees to Ping Chiang City in South China, where he makes a living as a blacksmith. Ma Teng then invents an iron umbrella, which can defeat the flying guillotine. Meantime, a wave of anti-Ching movements sweep across South China, the campaign leaders of which include Pai Tai-kung (Wang Chung), Kan Feng-chih (Shih Chung-tien) and a woman, Lu Szu-niang (Yen Nan-hsi). These patriots secretly join forces with Na Lan (Shih Szu), the daughter of an imperial officer, to assassinate the monarch; but their attempts repeatedly fail. The patriots also try in vain to persuade Ma Teng to join them. Soon, the guillotine gangsters track down Ma Teng in Ping Chiang City; he kills several of his pursuers, and escapes, but his wife and child are slaughtered. Ma Teng then joins the anti-Ching forces and, in a series of raids on the imperial palace, the patriots find to their dismay that the fighting efficiency of the flying guillotine has been improved by a Tibetan Lama, and that the iron umbrella is not a match for it. Na Lan and her women colleagues then steal the blueprint for the “Ring-Chain Flying Guillotine”, the improved weapon, and are ready to leave the palace with it when they are intercepted by the emperor’s men. Emperor Yung Cheng suspects that Na Lan could be his enemy, and he orders her to kill her own father in order to prove her loyalty to the throne. Na Lan finally takes her father’s life though she quietly preserves his body. The cunning emperor then orders his gangsters to kill her, but before they can harm her, Na Lan escapes to the hideout of the patriots.
By this time Ma Teng the blacksmith has invented a new weapon, called the ‘toothed wheel’ which can counteract the ring-chain flying guillotine. One night the patriots sneak into the palace sleeping chamber to assassinate Yung Cheng. They clash with the palace guards and the gangsters of the ring-chain flying guillotine unit. Ma Teng uses the toothed wheel to defeat the ring-chain flying guillotine, and the patriots succeed in putting to death Emperor Yung Cheng. However, Lu Szu-niang and many others amongst the fearless patriots are also killed in the battle.
