The workers of a dye factory have their pay cut by 20% when the factory owner brings in some Manchu thugs to try and increase production. Desperate to reclaim their full wages, the workers hire an actor to impersonate a priest and kung-fu expert from the temple of Shaolin. The factory owner proves the actor a fraud, and punishes all those involved. The young actor feels he has let the workers down, and promises to atone. He sets out for Shaolin, determined to be accepted as a kung-fu pupil at the elite temple.

This martial arts sequel trades traditional temple training for a clever scheme involving factory workers and a fake Shaolin priest. Expect sharp comedic timing and inventive choreography as a group of laborers uses deception to fight back against corporate thugs.
