Based on the adaptation of "drafting strong men." During the civil war, the Kuomintang conducted large-scale drafts across the country to expand their military sources. In Longyin Town, Sichuan, a series of stories triggered by the draft unfold: "The Number One Protector" Wang Baozhang (played by Li Baotian) deceives superiors and subordinates for personal gain; the district recruitment team leader Lu (played by Li Chaoyou) engages in extortion, forcibly taking women, committing all sorts of atrocities; the rogue proletarian Pan Tuobei (played by Liu Yajin) acts as a collaborator; the local rich man Li Laoshuan (played by Wang Da’an) is forced to send his youngest son to become a scout; the kind and just third sister-in-law (played by Hou Jilin) must greet Wang Baozhang with a smile; the hired farmer Jiang Dagui is driven to the wilderness; to avoid the "bride tax," Li Laoshuan marries off his youngest daughter (played by Xie Run) to Pan Tuobei, and the third sister-in-law becomes the underground wife of Captain Lu, giving birth to a daughter. Ironically, Wang Baozhang ends up donning a red silk outfit and wearing a bright red flower, acting as the groom and acquiring a beautiful bride. The troubles continue; one night, a loud noise shakes the small town, and flames soar into the sky amidst billowing smoke. A U.S. B-29 heavy bomber crashes into Longyin Mountain, scattering 350 million yuan in military bonds. In no time, Wang Baozhang, Pan Tuobei, Li Laoshuan, Captain Lu, and others engage in intrigue and deceit, scrambling for this enormous sum of money; a sudden windfall adds to the already restless town.
