Plain-clothes detective Wang is the best in his trade. One day he stumbles across a young girl's body who apparently is died of abortion. Wang investigates the guilty abortionist who leads Wang to a secret organization called "The Welfare Association". Actually it is an international prostitution racket.

Wang arrests the organizer but has set her free from headquarter. Wang and Lei get together in getting the commander dismissed.
Directed by Jeong Chang-hwa, The Association leans on a strong ensemble — Tanny Tien Ni, Byong Yu, Angela Mao Ying — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1974.
