    When you give your son the false sense of superiority, it will come back to bite him in the ass. Leung Chang (Biao Yuen) has been going around the province getting into "fights" to prove he's the best of the best. The only problem is, he's NOT the best of anything. His parents have been giving money to his servant, Yee Tong-Choi (Lung Chan) to pay off opponents to lose to Leung Chang. All is fine until Leung's brother Yei-Tai (Ching-Ying Lam)gets a crush on Opera Star Yee Tong-Choi (Lung Chan). Yei-Tai is humiliated and Chang ventures to the opera to set things straight. It is Chang who gets schooled by Yee Tong-Choi, with the truth about Chang's fights and a demonstration of how pathetic Chang's Kung-Fu truly is when he takes on Yee Tong-Choi. Disgraced, Chang vows to learn true Kung-Fu at Yee Tong-Choi's feet. Something Yee isn't all that thrilled to hear. He does his best to get rid of Chang. But, when Chang's father buys the Opera, it becomes apparent Yee is stuck with Chang. Adding to Yee's misery is spoiled Lord, Ngai Fei (Frankie Chan) who is determined to fight all the best Kung-Fu fighters in the area. He too has a father working behind his back to ensure he always wins his matches, by ordering his son's opponents killed to prevent a loss. A fight between Yee and Ngai at a dinner is halted when it becomes obvious Yee is sick. Ngai demands a rematch once Yee is stronger. Ngai's guards, under orders from his father, burn the Opera to the ground in order to prevent the rematch and risk Ngai losing. Yee is saved by Chang, who takes him to Yee's brother, Wong Wah-Bo (Sammo) to recuperate. Wah-Bo and Yee have a bit of one-up-manship in Chang's teachings that involves some humor at Chang's expense. Wah-Bo does teach Chang something we all need to learn - no one fights fair. The battle between Chang and Ngai finishes out the movie and is worth every moment. Chang finally gets to prove - He is the Best of the Best.
