His family forces him to put his mental agility to the test and study to become the first certified Cantonese scholar. His rival is a handsome kung fu master named Liu Sin-hoi (Aaron Kwok), who is more than Lun's equal in terms of wit. When their teacher learns that he is being pursued by a dastardly agent from the East Chamber, the two put their differences aside and battle against their newfound enemy. Vivian Chow, Ng Man-tat, Leung Kar yan, and Gordon Lau also appear. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
