Bewildered graduate, Wei Yip (played by Sammo Hung’s son in real life, Timmy Hung) and his best friend Takeda (Kane Kosugi) head from Europe to China to learn a particular Southern China style of kung fu, Choy Lee Fut.

They enroll in a martial arts school run by Wei Yips uncle, Master Chen. It's not long before they find trouble which comes in the form of a rival martial arts school, backed by a powerful financial company that has forced Master Chen into a fight tournament.

The financial company will take over Master Chens' martial arts school if they can't prove themselves at the tournament and so the task to save the school falls on Wei Yip and Takeda, complicated by the romantic link between Wei Yip and a beautiful female fighter from the rival school.

Sammo Hung plays Wei Yips father, who in the film is a master of the Hung Gar style of kung fu.

Director Sam Wong is also part of the Jackie Chan stunt team.
