In 1943, there was a huge change in the battlefield situation of World War II. The anti-fascist camp saw the dawn of victory. On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese launched a frenzied offensive to salvage their deteriorating situation. At the same time, a long-planned shocking conspiracy was also unfolding.

On a bustling street in Shanghai, Chen Qian, a Chongqing National Government secret agent with the code name "Lu Bu," disguised himself as an electrician and met with his comrade Xu Kuilin, code name "Diao Chan," to exchange information. Their target this time was Ren Ke Fu Xiong, a Japanese Army Lieutenant General. The United States and Germany are both rushing to develop nuclear weapons. Whoever develops nuclear weapons first will determine the outcome of the war. Due to Japan's scarce resources, their only option is to search for uranium ore in China. Ren Ke Fu Xiong, who enjoys watching opera, is likely to appear at the Carlton Theater tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock for an opera performance. Jing Tianyutailang has already sent a message to Ren Ke Fu Xiong, so the probability of his appearance is high, and it is their only chance to get close to the target.

The next day, the leader of the Shanghai branch's action team, Zhou Zuo, was instructing his subordinates to keep an eye on anyone entering the Calderon Theater and not allow any mistakes to occur. Meanwhile, Chen Qian followed the crowd and queued up to enter the theater when suddenly the popular actor Ye Cunming appeared and the crowd rushed forward to get his autograph. Yu Chunyang took the opportunity to move the props needed for the play, which included not only Ye Cunming's precious masks but also a gun they had hidden. Since only Ye Cunming could open the mask, hiding the weapon was the safest option. Later, Chen Qian disguised himself as an electrician and successfully entered the theater, while Xu Kuilin disguised himself as a journalist and was able to enter successfully as well.

However, the group of people who were transporting the play were stopped. Chen Qian observed from upstairs while Ye Cun Ming rushed over upon hearing the commotion. He angrily expressed that he didn't want anyone to touch his things. Gong Ben Liang from the Mei Bureau's Intelligence Department went forward to inquire about the situation. After learning that Ye Cun Ming refused to allow the props to be inspected, he insisted on having the box opened due to orders from above. Ye Cun Ming had no choice but to open the box himself, and Gong Ben Liang didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, in the Shanghai branch of the National Government's Political Security Bureau, Jing Tian Yu Tai Lang, the head of the Intelligence Department, was interrogating Chongqing special agent Mao Sen. He presented photos of a private dance party where an assassination took place, as well as the incident where Xiao Ye Sang reported to the Mei Bureau and was shot dead on the spot, leaving only a shell casing behind. Mao Sen trembled with fear after hearing this and confessed that Diao Chan and Lu Bu were responsible for those events.

Due to the Japanese army ignoring Ye Cun Ming's opposition, they forced him to remove his mask, which made him feel very unhappy. He directly collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Meanwhile, Yu Chunyang put down her props box and went to Ye Cun Ming's room to look for something. She was a member of the Shanghai underground traffic station of the Communist Party of China, codenamed Bu Gu Niao. This time, she received a task from her superior, Xu Hailiang, to bring back intelligence about uranium ore. At this moment, Chen Qian quietly sneaked into the place where the props box was placed, took the hidden gun in his hand, and quickly left the room.

In order to complete the assassination mission of Ren Ke Fu Xiong, Chen Qian did some advance reconnaissance. There weren't many people on the second floor of the theater this time, so he could go up there and find the private room to confirm the sniper point. Xu Kuilin was responsible for confirming Ren Ke Fu Xiong's location, giving Chen Qian a signal, and then they would go to the entrance of the Sanyo Bank for retreat. Mao Sen would be there to pick them up, so they had to complete the mission as soon as possible before 5 o'clock. But what they didn't know was that Mao Sen had already been caught by Jing Tian Yu Tai Lang, who used the anti-Japanese forces to threaten him to reveal Lu Bu and Diao Chan's plan. Mao Sen couldn't hold out and had to spill everything.

Yu Chunyang finally found what she was looking for, but when she wanted to leave, she suddenly heard voices outside. It turned out that He Dabao from the Shanghai Branch Action Team was chatting up someone. Chen Qian also saw this scene and noticed that Xu Kuilin was about to come up, so he signaled him to start moving. Xu Kuilin then gave the security guard some money, using an interview with Ye Cun Ming as an excuse to smoothly go upstairs and divert He Dabao's attention. Chen Qian took this opportunity to deliberately provoke He Dabao and urge him to follow, successfully distracting He Dabao and entering Ye Cun Ming's room.

As soon as Chen Qian entered, he was held at knifepoint at his lower back, thinking it was a Japanese soldier. He then fought with Yu Chunyang. They heard the voices of the Japanese soldiers outside, so they stopped fighting and hid. They killed the two Japanese soldiers who came in. Yu Chunyang guessed that Chen Qian was from the military intelligence, so she quickly left. Chen Qian closed the door and saw Yu Chunyang's hairpin on the ground, so he put it in his pocket. He then opened a small slit in the curtain and observed the situation below. At that moment, Xu Kuilin used a camera to show Chen Qian where Ren Ke Fu Xiong was located.

However, Chen Qian hesitated a bit. He had just seen a man in a long robe enter Ren Ke Fu Xiong's room. The man was also respectful when he saw him, and he was worried that they had switched identities. At this point, he could no longer hesitate. Chen Qian aimed at the man in the suit and fired, only to find that the Japanese had surrounded the man in the long robe, realizing that he was Ren Ke Fu Xiong. When the fuses blew, all the theater lights went out. Chen Qian took this opportunity to slide down from the first floor and used a guest's glasses to remove Ren Ke Fu Xiong. Then he slipped away from the nearby door. When the lights came on, the Japanese only then discovered that Ren Ke Fu Xiong had already been killed.
