In 1937, Chinese martial artist Chen Zhen studies at Kyoto University, where he faces harassment from Japanese ultranationalists but earns the respect of karate master Fumio Funakoshi. Chen learns that his master, Huo Yuanjia, has died after losing a match to Japanese fighter Akutagawa, so he returns to Shanghai. Suspecting foul play, Chen challenges and easily defeats Akutagawa, then has his master's body exhumed for an autopsy, which reveals that Huo Yuanjia was poisoned before the match.
