Dou Lingkan, the leader of the Flying Tiger Mountain Gang, and his godson Tie Mole are passing through a small town when they are attracted by a commotion. They realise that Wang Longke, a servant of the warlord An Lushan, is planning to steal a letter from Guo Ziyi's messenger. Apparently, Guo Ziyi discovered An Lushan's plans to rebel against the imperial court and he wants to warn the emperor. Tie Mole saves the messenger and becomes involved in the politics of that era. He is joined by several righteous martial artists as they attempt to undermine An Lushan's rebellion.
