Plot
In the Ming Dynasty, there exists a legendary group of four scholars, whose literary and artistic skills are unmatched in China. Out of the four scholars, Tong Bak Fu (Stephen Chow) is most famous, for having eight wives in addition to his expertise as an artist, poet, and writer. However, Tong's eight wives are actually complete gambling addicts, and in general, unappreciative of Tong's artistic skills. This leads to Tong's quest for a woman who truly understands him and appreciates his strengths.
There is also a familial secret within the Tong Family: they have been generations of martial arts masters. The Tong Family has two major enemies: the Evil Scholar, a notorious swordsman known for The Deadly Scholastic Sword (書生奪命劍), who killed Tong Bak Fu's father during a melee, and a love rival of Tong Bak Fu's mother, Chussy. Due to these rivalries, Tong Bak Fu is forbidden by his mother to use any form of martial arts.
