The Twins
Season 11979
17 Episodes
The story started off with the devoted Royal Bodyguard JIANG FLING (the father of the twins) sending his pregnant wife away to safety and rounding up his properties because he was to launch his very dangerous plan to rescue the queen who had been taken prisoner by rebels conspiring to overthrow the Royal Family. On the other hand, inside the 'Floral Palace', two princesses were quarrelling between themselves as both loved JIANG but JIANG liked neither. Instead JIANG had ran off with one of the maids in the Palace and the princesses felt it was the greatest insult possible. In furious jealousy, they determined to revenge. The rescue plan eventually pulled through after much fighting and bloodshed and JIANG escorted the queen to the rendezvous where his wife was waiting for him desperately.
May 7, 1979YEN returned to the deserted temple and discovered the dead couple with a baby lying beside them. He carried off the baby and decided to take refuge in 'The Valley of the Bad'. When YEN tried to enter the Valley, a vigorous fight broke out between him and the gang of bandits occupying the Valley and YEN ended up in near-fatal wounds. Nevertheless, his life was spared by a doctor in the gang who proposed to use him as a guinea pig for his medical experiments. It soon turned out that the bandits were not that bad after all. They were merely a group of Kung Fu experts with odd characters who could not get along with the orthodoxy.
May 8, 1979Ten years passed and the hint for YEN and the queen was relaxed. 'HWAH WU JIER' (one of the twins brought up by the two Floral Palace princesses) grew up to become a fine young man, well- trained by 'Moon' in Kung Fu fighting. During this period, a rumor was spread amongst the Kung Fu circle that a treasure was hidden in the 'Spiritual Palace' and the one who found it would become the richest man on earth. The ten bandits in the Valley intended to set out for same but 'JIANG YUE' (the other twin brother who was brought up by the bandits) showed his intelligence and leadership by analyzing the situation and pointing out that the whole thing could only be a bait. YEN was all the time paralyzed showing no sign of recovery. Accidentally the doctor revealed to JIANG that he was brought into the Valley by YEN.… ...
May 9, 1979After his escape from the Valley, JIANG encountered ZHIANG QIN (nicknamed the little angel) who was seen chasing after a young girl TIER XIN LAN for a map indicating the location of a treasure. JIANG managed to steal the map just to make fun o f the two but ZH IANG thought i t was no joke. With the help of her fighters, ZHIANG captured JIANG and forced him to surrender the map. JIANG refused and was jailed in an underground cell which was used as a laboratory. JIANG managed to break out of the cell but was soon re- captured. JIANG decided that it was better to kill JTANG quickly so she threw him into an ice cabin and left him to die.
May 10, 1979Just when JIANG was about to die in the ice cabin, 'OX' and 'GOAT' of the 'Gang of the Twelve Stars' broke in and rescued him. Knowing JIANG had seen the treasure map, they forced him to lead the way to the treasure. They finally made it to the cave where the treasure was purportedly hidden and was astonished to find that a great number of treasure hunters were already there but there was absolutely no treasure at all. HWAH suddenly appeared and told everyone that they were all being fooled as the treasure infect did not exist. Amongst the treasure hunters was TIER whom HWAH fell in love with at first sight. But TIER was already in love with JIANG and so she avoided HWAH, upsetting him tremendously. HWAH found out that JIANG was the person whom he was instructed to kill. A fight broke out between the two. JIANG was no match to HWAH and was forced down a steep cliff.
May 11, 1979JIANG was not killed but was badly injured. He was rescued by a young girl XAU DFE MEE and taken to her home. XAU lived in a cave where she kept a number of handsome young man for sustaining her lusty life. XAU liked JIANG and proposed to make him 'first boy'. JIANG refused and escaped with another man YUE LANG. JIANG accidentally discovered that YUE LANG also possessed a copy of the false treasure map. He decided to find out more about this. YUE LANG told him that the map was stolen from his father - HAWK who was a famous Kung Fu expert from the South. JIANG followed YUE LANG to his house and searched his father's library. He realized that HAWK was the man who issued those false treasure maps but could not figure out his intention.
May 14, 1979HAWK came to know that JIANG was trying to unveil his false treasure map plot. To avoid possible complications, he captured JIANG. HAWK also knew that an assassinator was around waiting for a chance to murder him. He wanted to find out more about this assassinator so he put JIANG in his own bed and awaited patiently for the killer to appear. The assassinator turned up one night but HWAH stopped her from killing the man in the bed (supposed to be HAWK). They tore open the bed curtains and discovered that it was JIANG lying in the bed. The assassinator was TIER. HKAH, realizing JIANG was still alive, wanted to kill him. TIER managed to help JIANG escaped. JIANG fled from the house and bumped into a masked lady (the false queen). The false queen questioned JIANG about a lot, of things and then began to like him. She wanted to teach JIANG martial arts but JIANG wanted to be free.… ...

Then TIER was found to be poisoned and she would require those medicines urgently. HWAH set off to locate the medicines and found them all in the CMU farm. HIUAH therefore suggested CHIU was behind the poisoning of TIER. On the other hand, JIANG discovered that the medicines were in fact smuggled into the CHIU farm without CHIU's knowledge.

When 'Mister Copper-face' discovered that she and JIANG were being trailed, she took JIANG back to the Floral Palace for safety. The false queen followed and ordered 'MOON' and 'STAR' to kill JIANG.
