Kim Dong-soo is trying to escape with a list of compatriots who support independence, but is ambushed by a Japanese Sabroo, which takes away the theater and cuts off his son Eung-beom's three fingers.

Meanwhile, he meets Kyung-ae, a Korean woman who works as Sabro-oh's henchman. In a confrontation to eliminate Sabro-Oh's subordinates one by one, when Eung-beom is put in jeopardy due to a cunning scheme, her Kyung-ae provides dramatic help.
