Monk Fei Wan (Sek Kin) seeks to make waves in the martial arts world. His evil plan, however, is thwarted by Ma Yuk-lung (Luo Pinchao) and Auyeung Tak (Lau Kwai-hong). To retaliate, Fei Wan hires Tak's lookalike Cheung Sam (Lau Kwai-hong again) to assassinate Lord Pang and, by doing so, frame Tak for the crime. Sam fails but Tak is now the chief suspect. Tak and his disciple Mo Kit (Lam Kar-sing) run into Sam during their investigation to clear Tak's name. Look out for Lau Kwai-hong's animated performance. His quirky, pipe-smoking character dons a pair of oversized glasses, a bulky fur coat, and a Fu Manchu style moustache. Wuxia hero redefined!
