A series of duels between Kiangnan Swordsman Hu Yi-tao (Liang Chia-jen) and Miao Jen-feng (Alex Man Chi-leung), two anti-Ching leaders – provoked by Miao’s pro-Ching godbrother Tien Kuei-nung (Ku Kwun-chung) – come to a draw. But finally, Hu is accidentally killed by Miao with a blade secretly poisoned by Tien. Hu’s wife (Yuan Chiu) commits suicide, while the baby boy who survives her is rescued by a waiter Ping Ah-szu (Lin Hui-huang).Years later, the Fox, Hu’s son Hu Fei (Felix Wong Yat-wa), who has mastered the swordplay, learns of the past and seeks vengeance. One night, he perchance rescues a middle-aged couple, who happen to be Tien and his adulteress Nan Lan (Chen Szu-chia), Miao’s wife, from the pursuit of Miao. Tien later kills Ah-szu, and frames Miao for the murder. On his way to pursue Miao, Hu Fei comes upon a girl Yuan Tzu-yi (Hui Ying-hung) who is trying to help stop leaders of all clans from attending a martial arts tournament arranged and designed by Ching’s Fu Kang-an (Tang Chen-tsung) to eliminate them all. Miao is blinded by Ching’s lackey and attached by their men when Hu and Yuan come to his rescue. Impressed by his righteous revolutionary cause, Hu agrees to try to find an antidote for Miao, his imaginary enemy, before taking vengeance on him, and succeeds in seeking the help of Cheng Ling-su (Tai Pei-ling), the pupil of the late pharmacist, to bring back Miao’s eyesight. Cheng also treats many of the anti-Ching leaders trapped and poisoned at Fu’s martial arts tournament. To rescue Yuan, Hu is mortally wounded, but Cheng sacrifices her own life to revive him.
