Lu Chan arrives with the intention to learn their techniques, but the villagers refuse to teach outsiders and try to discourage him by challenging him to fights. Despite facing opponents of all ages, Lu Chan is repeatedly defeated by their skilled Tai Chi moves. However, the village faces a new threat when a man from their past returns with a powerful steam-powered machine and plans to build a railroad through the village, regardless of the consequences. Faced with this danger, the villagers decide they may have to trust Lu Chan, who possesses a hidden power that could help protect their home.
