Synopsis

During the Kin-lung era, the Hung Fa Wui (Red Flower Society) rose to prominence, aiming to overthrow the Manchu Ching rule. The Society’s chief, Yu Man-ting (played by Pak Ying), secretly entered the Forbidden Palace and revealed to Emperor Kin-lung (played by Simon Yam) that he was in fact of Han Chinese descent. For the sake of his own safety, Kin-lung killed Yu to silence him.

Yu’s adopted son, Chan Ka-lok (played by Pang Man-kin), who was actually Kin-lung’s younger brother, succeeded him as chief after Yu’s death and carried on the cause of restoring the Han and resisting the Ching.

Upon learning that Kin-lung was traveling to Kongnam (Jiangnan), Chan – together with Man Tai-loi (played by Shek Sau), Lok Bing (played by Barbara Chan Man-yee), Yu Yu-tung (played by Lawrence Ng Kai-wah), and the other fourteen leaders – went to Hangchow (Hangzhou). There, they used the charms of the famous courtesan Yuk Yu-yee (played by Jaime Chik Mei-chun) to lure Kin-lung to the Lok Hup Pagoda, where they laid out the stakes and pressured him to cooperate with the Hung Fa Wui (Red Flower Society) in their anti-Ching cause.
