It is a tale about Cheung (Sammo Hung), a cuckolded husband, sent on a wild roller coaster ride of spooky encounters when his wife's wealthy lover tries to do away with him with the help of black magic by a Taoist monk.
How Cheung defies his enemies is an uproarious comedy featuring hopping vampires, supernatural possession, copious splashings of chicken blood and relentless chanting, all mixed with an exhilarating dose of kung fu and slapstick humour.
