Bold Cheung awakens from a nightmare in which he narrowly escapes two ghosts. He is challenged to spend the night in an
abandoned house where he must peel an apple in front of a mirror. If he breaks the skin then something bad will happen. Upholding his mantle as the boldest, he accepts the challenge. However, that night, whilst peeling the apple, his friend tricks him. While scolding his friend for the prank, a real ghost appears and snatches Cheung's friend away. The ghost reaches for Cheung, but he cuts its hand off and then quickly shatters the mirror, causing the house to collapse. The next day, Cheung overhears a story about a promiscuous wife from a sweet tofu seller; he goes to his home to check on his wife and finds two peeping toms outside his door. He scolds them, causing his wife and employer, Master Tam, to hear. Tam escapes, but leaves his shoe which Cheung finds and confronts his wife with. His wife pulls a tantrum and makes Cheung feel guilty. Master Tam is worried Cheung will find out about the affair, so he hires a Mao Shan
witch, Chin Hoi, to get rid of him. When Chin mentions this to his junior disciple, Priest Tsui, Tsui states that it is against the rules of their sect to harm others, and is then kicked out by Chin. Cheung is tricked into spending the night in a temple, but he encounters Tsui who tells him that he must sleep on the roof. Cheung does so. A coffin in the temple opens, and a
jiangshi, a hopping corpse controlled by Chin, begins looking for him. Cheung hides in the rafters and under the coffin, but is found; the two fight until sunrise forces Chin to move the corpse back into the coffin. Cheung is tricked into spending another night in the temple. Again he meets Tsui who tells him to collect fifty chicken eggs to throw into the coffin. If he runs out of eggs, he must throw dog's blood over the
jiangshi. However, the egg seller puts in ten duck eggs. That night, Cheung throws in the eggs when the coffin begins to open and it works. However, when he throws a duck egg inside, the corpse escapes so Cheung throws dog's blood onto it which sends Chin flying into Tam's roof, severing his control of the
jiangshi. Cheung goes back to town, but an Inspector arrests him for murdering his wife, even though it is a set-up. Cheung is thrown in prison, but escapes by pretending to be sick; he beats up the guards and runs into a forest where he trips over a coffin exposing the
corpse within. As Cheung sleeps, it comes to life and mimics his actions before an evil force causes it to attack and chase him. Whilst on the run from the corpse, Cheung bumps into the Inspector and his men. The
jiangshi collapses onto the Inspector, giving Cheung time to escape. Cheung meets up with Tsui who wants to take Cheung as his disciple. As they stop to eat, the Inspector shows up and sends his men after Cheung. Chin is also there and manipulates Cheung's right arm to beat up the people around him and himself. Tsui stops him in a sword fight, and Chin escapes. To help Cheung, Tsui uses his magic to manipulate the Inspector's men to fight the Inspector whilst he and Cheung escape. Tsui initiates Cheung as his disciple at an abandoned Taoist altar by drawing talismans onto Cheung’s body. He also gives Cheung his undergarment as protection. Meanwhile Chin sends a
vampire after Tsui and Cheung but they defeat it and Tsui uses his magic to force the corpse to tell them where Chin was hiding. They then go to Tam's house to challenge Chin. Both sorcerers use magic to instill spirits into their disciples. Cheung is possessed by the
monkey god and Chin's disciple by the
Dragon Taming Arhat. The two possessed apprentices fight with Cheung winning. Chin then forces Master Tam to be possessed with the spirit of
Lu Dong Bin but Cheung, who is possessed by
Hong Hai Er, kills him. Then the two sorcerers unleash their magic on each other and Tsui is badly injured with Chin's sorcery because he gave his magic undergarment to Cheung. Just as it seems like Chin is winning, Cheung cuts the legs off his altar. This causes Chin to lose balance, giving Tsui a chance to hit him with magical fire; Chin is set ablaze and falls off his altar to burn to death. However, Tsui is badly hurt by Chin's magic and he too falls off his altar dead. Cheung's wife steps forward in all the madness and tries to convince Cheung that Tam was about to rape her. However, Cheung is not deceived and he punches her over and over again, then throws her. ==Cast==
