By his constant abuse and trickery, lawyer Stephen Chow has driven apprentice Eric Kot away. Kot goes to Hong Kong, newly under British control, where he is railroaded into a bad hair cut and accused of murder. Chow is persuaded for his own honor to defend Kot. But this is in a court ruled by British legal principles, and Chow is well out of his areas of expertise.

Chow's comedies usually amuse me with their mixtures of low comedy, integration of standard practices with bizarre situations, and some clever comedy too. This one is a bit too strong on the low comedy aspect to please me, particularly with Kot in prison storing all sorts of things where the sun don't shine and Karen Mok as Chow's wife being named "Wu-Man". That said, there's a comic attitude to the law that seems to derive from W. S. Gilbert.... but without Gilbert's logic.
