Zhao Ade, an illiterate peasant who makes a living as a cart puller. One day, Ade takes his daughter Niu to the county town for medical treatment and to search for Niu's mother, only to have his money swindled by the local hooligan Liu Xiaochun. Luckily, with the help of Zhang Dage, who sells pain-relief medicine while boxing on the streets, and a fortune teller known as Ming Shu, who is "renowned for his predictions," Ade's family ends up in the "Tian Family Courtyard." The "head" of the Tian Family Courtyard, Sister Tian, usually treats tenants who owe rent with disdain, but treats Ade, who is of similar age, "with special consideration," allowing Ade to accumulate rent arrears while proactively caring for sickness-stricken Niu and her siblings, even "helping" to search for Niu's mother, A Qiu... To raise money for Niu's medical expenses, Ade, under Zhang's introduction, goes to "Master Hu's" boxing gym to earn extra money. Unexpectedly, Master Hu sees Ade as a "novelty" in the boxing world and intends to "train" Ade to earn money for himself. Master Hu "kidnaps" Ade's young daughter Baomei and Zhang's silly sister Zhu Zhu to extort money. After many attempts to raise funds, Ade and Zhang remain unable to pay the ransom and have no choice but to seek help from Master Hu, who "generously" offers assistance. Ade and Zhang also promise to fight each other as "repayment" to Master Hu, but unexpectedly, Ade ends up killing Zhang in the ring... To escape the police led by Captain Qian and the joint pursuit of Master Hu, Ade flees to Daming Mountain to work as a miner. However, Master Hu even targets Sister Tian, scheming to seize control of the Tian Family Courtyard, forcing Sister Tian to lead the sickly Niu and her three children, Dogdan and Baomei, across mountains and rivers in search of Ade... While mining on Daming Mountain, due to his "diligent work," Ade unexpectedly wins the favor of the mine owner's daughter, Miss Zhangzhu. However, Ade is not swayed and firmly believes that Sister Tian is the person he wants to love and care for his entire life, which earns him even more respect and support from Zhangzhu. Ade receives financial support from Zhangzhu and returns triumphantly to Shanghai, exposing Master Hu's evil deeds and clearing his name regarding the "murder." He later defeats Master Hu in the boxing ring and hands him over to the law...
