Foreign nations began taking over and ruining China's sovereignty. To restore China's pride and power, the Empress Dowager and Governor Li Hongzhang sponsor a national King Lion Competition, where it features competing lion dancers.
Wong Fei Hung and his disciple Leung Foon arrive in Beijing to visit Fei Hung's father, Kei Ying. The two meet 13th Aunt at the train station, where she just reunited with a friend, a Russian diplomat named Tomonvsky, who vies for her attention to the annoyance of Wong.
Upon meeting his father, Fei Hung learns he was attacked by a wealthy rival martial artist named Chiu Tim Ba and his formidable fighter and lackey, Club. Luckily there were only minor injuries. Kei Ying, who runs a martial arts school and a shop selling lion masks, decides to grant Fei Hung's blessings since his son and 13th Aunt develop closer relations.
