Mladý Won Fei-Hung, syn legendárneho majstra bojových umení, je až príliš odvážny – rozumej ľahkovážny – a neustále vymýšľa len samé darebáctva, namiesto toho, aby sa venoval zdokonaľovaniu v technikách kung fu... Keď sa však jedného dňa, vďaka jednému z jeho nespočetných žartíkov, zraní syn istého významného muža, rozhodne sa Wonov otec poslať svojho „nevycválaného“ syna do učenia k jeho tvrdému strýkovi Su Hua Chimu - aby ho naučil disciplíne! O strýkovi vie Won len toľko, že svojich žiakov učí jednu z výnimočných techník boja kung fu a že niekoľko z nich vďaka jeho nešetrnému, ba až nemilosrdnému spôsobu výučby skončilo zranených - s trvalými následkami! Won sa spočiatku zdráha, no keď zlyhá v súboji s nájomným vrahom známym pod prezývkou Hromová noha, ktorému zaplatili, aby zavraždil jeho otca, pochopí, že techniku „opitého boxu“ sa musí naučiť za každú cenu!
