In the sixteenth year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, famine and plague ravaged Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong, leaving the impoverished populace in dire straits. The county magistrate of Weixian, Bao Zhiling, plundered the people's wealth. The governor of Laizhou, Yin Buchou, visited the Weixian government office late at night for the disaster relief funds that the emperor had dispatched, expected to arrive soon. The two conspired to embezzle a large portion of the relief funds. Suddenly, the lights went out! Outside, the cry of "Iron Monkey" nearly frightened the two corrupt officials to death! The county's guards were no match for the bandit wearing a monkey mask! They were defeated and humiliated, with the county office left in chaos. What distressed Bao Zhiling most was that the embezzled funds he had hidden in the cabinet were ransacked by the Iron Monkey! That night, countless disaster victims and poor people received aid from the Iron Monkey. It turned out the Iron Monkey was the well-known "Baicaotang" clinic in Weixian, and the divine healer Yang Tianchun was the chivalrous figure who helped the needy and robbed the rich to aid the poor, becoming the Iron Monkey! One day, Yang Tianchun went to "Chunfeng Tower" on the border of Weixian to practice medicine, where he was called to help a prostitute named Xin Ruolan who was in labor but had complications. Ruolan, heartbroken, found herself being beaten by the brothel's thugs who insisted she go out to entertain clients. Yang Tianchun was already outside the house but hesitated to intervene for fear of exposing his identity as the Iron Monkey. He stammered, taking out some silver to redeem Ruolan. The emperor's disaster relief funds were robbed by bandits within the Laizhou area! Nalan Suotu proofed that it was the famous bandit Iron Monkey who had seized the emperor's silver! Now the emperor ordered the "Jade-faced Tiger" Zhou Shitong to come to Weixian to capture the Iron Monkey and commanded Nalan Suotu to assist in the capture to redeem himself. The emperor issued an edict to capture the Iron Monkey, and Yang Tianchun was furious, especially when Nalan Suotu falsely accused him! Yang Tianchun donned the Iron Monkey's disguise and leaped across rooftops, while the palace experts, Wu Sanniang and Gao Sanjie, ambushed him but were no match for the Iron Monkey. After defeating them, the Iron Monkey stormed the Weixian county government office and fought Nalan Suotu. At that moment, "Jade-faced Tiger" Zhou Shitong arrived, injuring the Iron Monkey with his Seven Star Fist. In a panic, the Iron Monkey released an iron net and took Nalan Suotu back to the clinic. The Iron Monkey demanded to know why Nalan Suotu had betrayed him, to which Nalan Suotu replied that it was the Iron Monkey who had robbed the official silver. The Iron Monkey suspected someone had framed him and decided to investigate the robbery scene. While examining the scene, Nalan Suotu realized that the Iron Monkey standing before him did not match many aspects of the bandit he was searching for. He told Ruolan that someone must have impersonated the Iron Monkey, intentionally leaving a live witness to frame him. Seeing that Nalan Suotu was a good official, Ruolan let him go. The Iron Monkey carefully examined the footprints at the robbery scene and discovered they followed the steps of the Seven Star Fist! It was the Jade-faced Tiger! At that moment, Wu Sanniang and Gao Sanjie attacked the Iron Monkey again, resulting in Gao Sanjie’s death. Wu Sanniang, under torture from the Iron Monkey's "Cold Wave Finger," revealed Zhou Shitong's conspiracy and the whereabouts of the silver. Returning to the clinic, the Iron Monkey found Ruolan had let Nalan Suotu escape. He immediately rushed to the Weixian county government office, where Nalan Suotu had already returned. After Nalan Suotu confronted Zhou Shitong, suspecting he had been exposed, Zhou Shitong intended to kill Nalan Suotu. Just then, the Iron Monkey arrived and exposed Zhou Shitong's plot. Nalan Suotu and the Iron Monkey fought Zhou Shitong together. Nalan Suotu, unable to move due to the effects of the Seven Star Fist, was saved by the Iron Monkey who killed Zhou Shitong on the spot. Yang Tianchun and Ruolan decided to head south to Guangdong to establish the Baicaotang. There, opium was rampant, livelihoods were devastated, and villains from both the underworld and the law were endangering the people.
