Plot

The series is set in early 20th-century America. Wah Ying-hung and his family are sailing back to China from America when they are attacked by enemies. Wah's wife, Kit-yu, is killed by the attackers while their son and daughter are thrown overboard. Wah is devastated by the loss of his family, so he returns to America to seek vengeance on Sat-dan Cheung-kwan, the man responsible for his plight. He fails in his first attempt but is rescued by Kim-sing, an elderly swordsman who runs the inn, China House, in Chinatown. Kim-sing transfers part of his inner energy to Wah Ying-hung and urges him to give up his desire for revenge. However, after Sat-dan Cheung-kwan constantly sends his henchmen to attack China House and mortally wound Kim-sing, Wah Kim-hung fights his way into Sat-dan Cheung-kwan's base and slays him. He then returns to China House, where a dying Kim-sing makes him promise to never get involved in any conflict again. Wah Ying-hung agrees and spends the next 15 years of his life operating the inn, as well as raising Kim-sing's godchildren, Ching-yee and Tze-tsai.
Unknown to Wah Ying-hung, his children had actually survived. His son, Wah Kim-hung, was saved and raised by Wah Ying-hung's loyal servant, Sang-no. To avoid the Hell Sect which has been pestering him to be their leader, Wah Kim-hung flees from China and travels to America to reunite with his father. Around the time, a notorious military-style mafia known as the Black Dragon Society has been planning to dominate Chinatown. Wah Kim-hung initially tries to keep a low profile and avoid conflict whenever possible, but subsequent events leave him with no choice but to interfere, especially when the mafia starts harassing and kidnapping Chinatown residents. Together with his son, close friends and allies, Wah Ying-hung organises the residents to put up resistance against the mafia.
At the same time, Wah Ying-hung also gets into trouble with the Shura Sect, a group of Japanese ninjas. He also falls in love with Muk-tze, who turns out to be Sat-dan Cheung-kwan's daughter. She is torn between her love for Wah Ying-hung and her desire to avenge her father. Concurrently, Wah Ying-hung faces a challenge from the overbearing Mo-dik, a blind Japanese swordsman who wants to be the most powerful martial artist in the world. As Wah Ying-hung loses some friends and loved ones along the way, he hears a prophecy from a fortune teller who said that he was born under the Star of Death and is destined to lead a life of loneliness because misfortune would befall everyone close to him. After Wah Ying-hung and his allies eliminated the Black Dragon Society and the Shura Sect, Wah takes up Mo-dik's challenge and engages him in a duel. Wah defeats Mo-dik but falls off a cliff and is believed to be dead. However, he actually survived and intends to not reveal himself to his son and friends because he still believes in the prophecy about his future.
