The film is set back in 1936, with Cheung playing a martial artist called Fung, who along with his friend Shue Po (former child star Xie Miao, also in “My Father is a Hero”) dreams of taking part in the coming Olympic Games. Although the government offers to provide some sponsorship, the athletes find themselves needing to raise a considerable amount of money in order to travel to the prestigious event. Unfortunately they find their efforts hampered by troubles with a rival martial arts school, whose leader challenges them to an elimination battle to decide who should represent the nation.
