A lighthearted action-crime romp centered on a well-meaning but dim-witted martial artist caught between his employer's criminal scheme and his own moral compass.

Lao San is a young veteran high in Kungfu power but low in intelligence. After landing on a job as a body guard for a wealthy antique collector, Lao San finds out his boss's plot to rob the National Art Museum.
