Based on the story of a Chinese revolutionary Jin Zhicheng, this was a re-production of Ma Xu Weibang's work in 1937. Li Xiaoxia thought her lover Song Danping had died, and asked her father if she could become a nun. Her father, the warlord Li Xianchen, was outrageous and beat her with a cane. Soon the Japanese invaders were approaching, thus the warlord sent his daughter to Shanghai for shelter. Song jumped into the running river but did not die. After some time he came to Shanghai where he joined the anti-Japanese guerilla headed by Sun Xiaogou. Song killed a number of Chinese traitors and earned himself a name "the midnight man". The warlord wished to marry his daughter to Wu Shaoxiong, a traitor, so that he could retain his power during the Japanese invasion. Sun knew about this and asked Li if she could engage to Wu and gather intelligence for the guerilla. Li promised. Soon Li's plot was discovered and Wu wanted to kill her. She was then brought to a deserted temple in the countryside. It was Song who saved her. In the middle of their conversation, Li took away Song's mask by accident and was horrified to see his deformed face. Without recognising Song, she fainted almost immediately. Knowing that Sun had asked Li to collect intelligence for the guerilla, Song returned to the guerilla's headquarters to ask why he did so. Unfortunately the headquarters had moved and was then occupied by Wu's men. Song was arrested red-handed and put to torture in a jail. By coincidence the guerilla's headquarters had moved to a hidden hall in the deserted temple. Sun and his comrades found Li and helped her recover consciousness. Then they discussed how to rescue Song from the jail. Only until then did Li realise the deformed man was her lover Song. She left in secret to see Wu, hoping that he would put her in jail where she could meet Song again. And Wu did. On the day of Song's execution, Li rushed to him and they died holding together.
