The film opens in 1927 in Shanghai.

He meets with KGB agents of the Russian government in Shanghai hoping that by alerting them to an upcoming Kuomintang plan he uncovered to massacre the entire Communist party in Shanghai that they will believe him.

Meanwhile, young Chinese girl Wang Lin is travelling to her grandfather’s silk factory.

Kuomintang barge in and massacre her grandfather and all the revolutionaries though Wang Lin escapes with the help of her friend Li Bao.
