Cheng Meng-chi (Liang Tian), celebrated for his cunning, embarks on a clever scheme to outwit his mischievous neighbour, Wu Tien-chuang (Wang Sha). Cheng’s ingenious trickery leads Wu and his mistress to believe that he possesses the extraordinary ability to turn chicken droppings into gold, resulting in comical confrontations and a string of stolen chickens. The narrative takes an entertaining twist as Cheng’s relationship with Crazy Ching (Chang Ying), the partner-in-crime of a gullible gold shop owner, transforms from playful neighbourly antics into an intense battle of wits, with Cheng consistently staying one step ahead of his adversary.
