Edit Plot summary of this paragraph:

Shanghai Beach is in a strange situation! Underworld, you fight for it! Reappearing the grievances and hatreds...

In 1916, in the early years of the Republic of China, the warlords were separatist and the people were in dire straits. Japanese militarism stepped up its invasion of China, using gang gangsters to kill anti-Japanese comrades and disrupting local order, allowing gangs to flourish. The society is filled with panic on the eve of drastic changes. Countries are fighting overtly and covertly in Shanghai's concessions, and gangs are also fighting for their own territory.

In the 1930s, Huang Dagang (Zhang Yaoyang), who grew up in a slum in Shanghai, decided to leave home and go to Shanghai to escape from his poor life. With his courage and good skills, he quickly captured a lot of territory.

The Shanghai World is brightly lit, and in the theater Nancy (Yu Li), a famous socialite singer in Shanghai, is singing on the stage. Gang leaders Dagang and Xiao Nanjing sat attentively in the audience. In the box, Wei Tingyan (Liu Songren), the general manager of the Shanghai Public Affairs Bureau, was listening to music while planning with Jin Jiuling (Han Kun), the inspector of the patrol room, to seize the dock because Xi Jian, who was in charge of the Whampoa Bund dock at the time, refused to ship opium for Wei. After the song, Nancy walked into the box and hugged Wei. Dagang looked very different, and Xiao Nanjing warned him not to make mistakes. At this time, the wealthy boss He entered the private dining hall and asked Wei to lend him Nancy to play with. Wei smiled coldly, and Boss He was shot dead as soon as he walked out of the door.

In front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, the guards were armed with live ammunition, and the cavalry was patrolling. The students held placards and held demonstrations. They chanted slogans such as "Protest against warlord Jimmy Lai's treason" and "Down with Japanese militarism." A garden party was being held in the hall of the Governor's Mansion, with gentlemen and ladies passing by and dancing. Luo Zixing (Yin Yangming) and Cheng Xiaopei (Peng Jiali), who were dressing up as humans, danced and watched the movements around them. In the secret room, the warlord Li Zhiying (Ho Ka-kui) took the Tang Sancai horse sent by the Japanese Yamamoto and kept thanking him, and promised to issue an order to arrest Sun Wen in the name of the Beiyang Army and eliminate the Southern Revolutionary Party. Then, they went to the hall and eliminated the Southern Revolutionary Party.

Then, they came to the hall, and Li introduced Shan Ben to Wei Tingyan and Nancy. Shan Ben drooled over Nancy's beauty.

Li left the hall and returned to the secret room. Luo Zixing and Xiaopei followed closely, taking the opportunity to kill him, and then left the Governor's Mansion among the dancers. During the rush, Luo Zixing was hit by Yu Yu (Chen Songling) who was stealing in the crowd. He realized something was wrong, and he and Xiao Pei chased after him. Dagang, Xiao Nanjing and others let Yu Yu (Huang Dagang's cousin) go and stopped Luo Zixing and Xiaopei. Yuyu gave the stolen bag to Dagang. Dagang opened it and saw that it was a badge belonging to the "Little Knife Club", an anti-Qing and anti-foreign organization. It turns out that Luo Zixing and Xiaopei were ordered by the "Little Sword Society" to assassinate the traitor Li Zhiying.

Luo Zixing and Xiaopei rushed to the "Antique Shop", the secret organ of the "Little Knife Society". Mr. Hu in the store told them that Wei Tingyan was a traitor and was going to help the Japanese transport a batch of arms northward. "Little Knife" "Hui" is going to get rid of him and get the arms. Liu Junze, the incense owner, will preside over this operation.

On his way to Shanghai, Liu Junze was killed by a group of masked killers headed by a girl in black. Liu hurriedly fought his way out. Unexpectedly, the masked man chased him all the way. In no hurry, he hid in Huang Dagang's house. In desperation, he asked Yuyu to give a secret letter to the "Xiao Dao Hui".

After Yuyu handed over the letter to Dianchuntang of the "Little Sword Society", she led Luo Zixing to Huang's house. They saw that the house was in a mess, and Huang's mother and Liu Xiangzhu had been brutally killed. Luo Zixing felt something was wrong and was about to ask Yu Yu to leave when he was surrounded by a group of girls in black. The two of them fought their way out, but unexpectedly, a big river blocked their way. In desperation, Luo Zixing hugged Yu Yu, who couldn't swim, and jumped into the fast river.

On this day, Jin Jiuling brought Dagang and Xiao Nanjing to the Wei mansion, where Wei and Nancy were practicing shooting. Wei asked Dagang to become his disciple, and asked him to lead his men to the dock to get rid of Xi Jian. He promised to make him a tycoon on the dock after that. Dagang agreed to kill Xi Jian, but asked Wei to return Nancy to him. It turns out that Dagang and Nancy were childhood sweethearts. Due to the pressure of life, Nancy was sold out by her father and fell into prostitution. After Dagang left, Wei said to Jin Jiuling insidiously: "If he doesn't have the ability, he will help wash the sword and pad the corpse. If he has the ability, give him the woman. Isn't it good for multiple people to work for me?"

Dagang He led his men to surround the dock and there was loud gunfire. Jin Jiuling led the patrolmen to guard in the distance. As soon as the gunfire stopped, he rushed in, congratulated Dagang on his victory, and shot and killed the captured Xi Jian himself. Dagang, covered in blood, drove to Wei's mansion and asked Wei to keep his promise. Nancy finally walked out of the Wei Mansion and followed Dagang, and the lovers finally got married.

For several days, Yu Yu could not forget the scene of being held by Luo Zixing while diving. She went to Luo Zixing and said that she had helped Luo Zixing last time and he must keep his promise to "repay". Luo Zixing had no choice but to agree to play with her, but Xiaopei felt unhappy. They went shopping like lovers until late at night. Luo Zixing sent Yuyu to the door of Huang's house and met Dagang and Xiao Nanjing. He persuaded Dagang to stop working for Wei, but Dagang disagreed. After Luo Zixing left, Dagang asked Yuyu not to associate with people from the "Little Knife Society" anymore.

In Dianchun Hall, Xiao Pei waited patiently for Luo Zixing to come back and told him that Mr. Hu had made arrangements to attack Wei as soon as possible.

Wei's birthday came and the banquet began. Wei asked Nancy to accompany Yamamoto, so Nancy had to do so.

The lion dance team danced to the sound of gongs and drums in the garden. At the banquet, Dagang discovered that Nancy was missing and hurriedly got up to look for her. He walked upstairs and suddenly heard Nancy's shouting and Yamamoto's lewd laughter. He was furious and broke in through the door. Just when he was about to beat up Yamamoto, the girl in black attacked him from behind. Dagang turned around sharply and the two started fighting.

The fight alarmed everyone, and the lion dancers suddenly took out their weapons and attacked Wei Tingyan. It turns out that these are the "Xiao Dao Hui" brothers brought by Luo Zixing. Wei Tingyan, a cunning old man, ordered Jin Jiuling to lead his thugs in a counterattack and slipped away quietly. During the fierce battle, brothers from the "Little Sword Society" died one after another, and Xiaopei was also seriously injured. Seeing that the assassination plan failed, Luo Zixing broke out with Yuyu's help.

Back home, Nancy told Dagang: She is just a chess piece in Wei Tingyan's hands, a social butterfly that anyone can play. She wants Da Gang to face reality and do something for the country and nation. A gunshot rang out and Nancy committed suicide. Dagang hugged her body tightly, feeling unbearable pain and the anger of revenge burning in his chest. The next day, he led his people to the dock and lit a raging fire to burn the opium.

Xiao Pei died, and Yu Yu stood in front of the grave and asked Luo Zixing to let her join the "Little Sword Club" to kill the invaders.

Wei Tingyan led his bodyguards to escort the train filled with weapons and ammunition to the north.

Luo Zixing came with the brothers of the "Little Sword Society", and Dagang, Xiao Nanjing and others also came with their swords and guns raised high...

The sound of killing was loud, bullets were flying, and a fierce battle began... …
