Upon receipt of his doctorate in Kung Fu with a minor in Ming Dynasty Restoration, a man (Jimmy Lee) becomes "friends" with the ambitious 4th prince, son of the dying king. The prince is worried that his brother, the 14th prince, will be named the successor to his father's throne. Jimmy agrees to help him swipe his dad's will and change 14th to 4th, and in exchange, when he is king, the 4th prince will allow Jimmy to head up the army. Unbeknownst to the 4th prince, Jimmy is a rebel who has a coup d'etat waiting to end the repressive monarchy. But not before some spontaneous moustaches.
