The red bug on Orchid Island causes severe itching and high fever in those bitten, potentially even leading to death! The islanders are superstitious, distrustful of medicine, believing only in the chief and the shaman Bata (Huang Zongxun). Young doctor He Weide (Zhang Chong) arrives on Orchid Island to practice medicine while searching for his father, who disappeared while researching the red bug. This leads to conflicts with his fiancée Bai Danna (He Lili). In Orchid Island, He meets Father Ji (Ji Shouchang) and an orphan girl named Yalan (Zheng Peipei). Yalan falls in love with He, which incites jealousy in the chief's son Xihuda (Wang Xia). Meanwhile, as He treats the islanders, the followers of shaman Bata dwindle, and both Xihuda and Bata plot to kill He. He and Yalan venture into the Hongtou Peak forest in search of his father, unwittingly falling into danger...
