Song Byeong-tae is bullied all the time in the small technical school he attends, until one day, he encounters and befriends Oh Pan-su, an old gangster-like man who hides in plain sight from the law, and whose fighting skills astound Byeong-tae, who asks the man to teach him to fight. He soon learns the true meaning and virtues of fighting as he finally goes against these bullies one by one and then after the toughest bully in the school, using the skills the man, whose name he does not even know, has taught him.
