After fifteen years in prison, Lee Cheuk-hung, a hardened bandit, is released on probation. He is unable to reunite with his fiancee Betty, who has now become the gang leader One-eyed Dragon's mistress. Besides, he does not want to stay with his brother Chi-sum who is likely to despise him. Consequently, he has no shelter. His good friend Ah Hon generously accommodates him at home. So, Cheuk-hung gets to know Ah Hon's neighbour, Uncle Hunchback, who is a beggar and an optimist. They become good companions. Using both hard and soft tactics, One-eyed Dragon urges Cheuk-hung to commit a crime. Cheuk-hung is determined to make a brand new start, so he refuses. Again and again, One-eyed Dragon sends his gangsters to interfere with Cheuk-hung's jobs. While he can find no way out, Uncle Hunchback reminds him of the Hong Kong Association for Rehabilitation. Mak Si-yan, the Director of the Association, responds immediately and looks for a shelter for him. Regarding Cheuk-hung as a die-hard, One-eyed Dragon's gangsters destroy Ah Hon's house. Uncle Hunchback is killed by accident. No sooner has Cheuk-hung moved to the Association residence, than Ah Hon brings Chi-sum to visit his brother. Cheuk-hung goes home with him. After learning from the newspaper that Cheuk-hung was a prisoner, Chi-sum's boss dismisses him and he gets very angry. He goes to the Association to scold Cheuk-hung. One-eyed Dragon takes this opportunity to persuade Chi-sum to rob his boss' company. Betty asks Cheuk-hung to come and stop him. The police arrive. Cheuk-hung tries to protect his brother by surrendering. Si-yan visits Cheuk-hung in prison and encourages him to prepare for a new life in three years
