烈日狂風(本事)
李大業是個殘暴的大魔頭,仗着軍閥為後台,强姦良家婦女、殺人、運毒無所不為。他帶着大隊人馬,經過風沙灣,在小客棧中歇息,看見了店家女薛玉蓮,美貌如花,色心大起,但在强姦不遂之後,却獸性大發,殺了玉蓮及其全家,揚長而去。
玉蓮的哥哥薛漢靑囘到客棧,目睹慘狀,悲憤交集,决為父母及妹妹報仇,來到附近的市鎭,正是踏破鐵鞋無覓處,得來全不費功夫,他遇到了李大業的手下,正在欺侮一個弱質女子鄭翠鳳,以翠鳳父親欠他們一筆債,硬要拉翠鳳去當娼,漢靑路見不平,拔刀相助,救了翠鳳,在翠鳳口中,得知來人正是李大業的爪牙。
於是,薛漢靑單刀赴會,闖進李大業的公館,直取大業。然而李大業旣是地方惡霸,手下頗有一批能人異士,更且擁有手槍,漢靑受了槍傷,逃囘翠鳳家,翠鳳感激他相救之恩,便悉心護理他的傷勢,並暫時遷往他處,以避鋒頭。
漢靑一心希望能夠找到一筆巨欵,以便翠鳳父親還債,解决翠鳳的困難,到鎭上的賭館去碰碰運氣。這賭館原是設着騙局,但是漢靑眼明手快,大「殺」四方,騙徒無所施其技,只得由館主和他對賭。這館主精明能幹,知道漢靑並非平凡之輩,讓他一局,漢靑便贏了大筆錢,準備囘家,館主陳俊,派人跟踪,調查漢靑的來歷。
原來,陳俊是受李大業新近賞識的武功高手,他主持的賭館,也是李大業的產業。跟踪的結果,李大業手下意外得知翠鳳下落,乘漢靑不備,把翠鳳搶去,送到李大業開設的妓院「溫香院」去。
「溫香院」有名妓花小紅,心儀陳俊,現在知道陳俊竟做了李大業的幫兇,助紂為虐,甚為憤恨。但陳俊却來託她小心照料翠鳳,暗示他投大業,實在事非得已。他眞正的身份,是南方政府特派員,奉命來搜集大業證據,以便拘捕歸案。但現在薛漢靑對他的誤解頗深,認為陳俊阻撓他取李大業性命報仇,有意和他為難。
恰巧這時大業欲納翠鳳為妾,陳俊把内幕告訴漢靑,並透露自己身份,邀請協助生擒大業,並警告漢靑不得殺大業以報私仇。
大業方面,已知陳俊底細,派人暗殺,却為陳俊結果性命。漢靑則再闖李公館,經一塲惡鬥,陳俊出現,宣佈大業罪狀,大業不甘就捕,遂約往風沙灣决鬥,漢靑同往,殺了大業。陳俊在此一塲患難之交以後,對漢靑頗表同情,赦其私相報仇的殺人罪名。 ——劇 終
