When Wong Fei-Hung and sidekick Chung arrives in Peking, they're just in time for the Empress-sponsored Lion King martial arts contest. But first, Wong-Fei Hung must win back his secret love Yee, his young, Westernized aunt-by-adoption from the nefarious Russian diplot-turned spy Tumanovsky, who has a secret plan to assassinate the President. Wong-Fei-Hung will try to foil the assassination attempt, defeat his awesome rival, Thunder Foot, triumph over the untrustworthy Leung Fun and win the Lion King contest.
