Simon Chan has returned to his hometown of Cabramatta. Whilst everyone thinks he was studying at a legendary martial arts school in Beijing, the truth is he was at Marshall's Art School, in Melbourne.

However, due to his mother’s boasting, everyone in Cabramatta thinks he is a kung fu master and the new saviour of their town.
