Plot Summary

The spoilt son of a millionaire finds the love of his life, but she will only accept him if he proves himself as a kung-fu master. He enters and wins the "Kung-Fu Scholar" tournament, little realizing that this victory will lead to him becoming penniless, homeless and sleepy. One day, while sleeping under a tree, he encounters a beggar he helped when he was still rich. Written by Rotten T.

Goofs In the fight scene with Uncle Mok and Chiu...several of the actor's wires can be seen while they are hopping about. Also...wires can be seen carrying the large boulders that hit Uncle Mok. Since the wires are so obvious...not quite sure if this was meant to be on purpose or really a mistake. See more »
