En 1939, peu avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, 20 000 jeunes Indochinois sont arrachés brutalement à leur pays et à leurs familles et embauchés de force dans les usines d'armement en France, afin de compenser le départ d'ouvriers au front. Ces ouvriers-forçats (appelés « Công Binh » ou « Linh Tho » au Viêt Nam) n'étaient désignés que par un matricule et recevaient des traitements dérisoires. Au moment de la défaite, ils furent considérés, à tort, comme des militaires, mis au ban de la société, asservis à l'occupant allemand et aux patrons collaborateurs. Ils furent aussi les pionniers de la culture du riz en Camargue. Le film se sert de témoignages d'une vingtaine de survivants ayant vécu cette expérience. Cinq d'entre eux sont décédés lors du tournage. Le film prend également appui sur l'ouvrage du journaliste Pierre Daum, Immigrés de force, publié chez Actes Sud.

Meng Hu (Don Wong) and Capt. Chow Lung (Lo Lieh) are local supercops who are cracking down on crime with a vengeance. That is, until several fighters get the drop on Chow who ends up dead. Meng blames himself and retires from crime fighting to become a pathetic drunk, drowning in shame. He finds work at a brothel for a time, until a patron's abuse of one of the girls causes him to interfere despite his refusal to fight. After being wounded, he stumbles to the doorstep of a martial arts school run by Magistrate Chen (Chui Chung Hei). Hoping to stay away from conflict, Meng finds work there, but trouble finds him anyway. A white-haired master named Chung Tung (Chang Yi) tries to bribe Chen into letting opium smugglers into the city. Chen refuses and has acupuncture needles thrust into him that will kill him unless removed by Chung Tung who hopes to control the magistrate. Pushed to the limit, Meng finally comes up with a plan to help beat Chung Tung and save Chen. Sadly, Chen believes his son and daughter are giving into Chung Tung and he removes the needles himself. With nothing holding them back, Meng and Chen's offspring leap into action to take out this pack of drug pushers.
