Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

This is the first full-length feature cartoon in Hong Kong cinematic history, and as such, benefits from the experience of Taiwanese and mainland Chinese releases. The story focuses on "Old Master Cute" and his bevy of cohorts: Mr. Chun, Miss Wong, and the Big Potato. When a trio of nasty types comes into the restaurant where he works, Master Cute has the unfortunate task of waiting on them. As might be expected, they refuse to pay their bill and a wild fight ensues, leaving the restaurant a mess and the Old Master convinced he had better take some kung-fu lessons. Somehow, the bad guys will one day get their just desserts, for sure.
