Army volunteers train for places in China's 1984 National Day parade, where they are expected to be a perfect marching unit.

Two soldiers escape from a thunderous battlefield, drifting to a deserted island where they are rescued by a woman. Upon the island, the trio reveal primal desires and savage humanity. The uncivilised setting served as one method of justifying nudity in films of the era, while the castaway trope represented a localised adaptation of prevailing international cinematic trends. The extant version of this film bears the title _Woman Fights to the Death for Love_ (loose translation) or (credited title) _A Beauty on Island_.
