King of Beggars

General So, the illiterate General of Canton, argues for a sloppy, cheerful lifestyle based on sex and money. Chan (Stephen Chow), his spoiled and illiterate son, is his most devoted follower. Chan travels to Peking to take part in the national examinations for Martial Arts Scholars, all for the sake of a woman. Chan is triumphant in the physical test, but he is disqualified from being crowned since he cheated on the written exam. Chan is sentenced to be a beggar by the Emperor. Chan is initially unable to cope with his new duty, but with the assistance of a mystic, he eventually ascends to the position of King of the Beggars Association. Chan leads this motley company into battle against a wicked warlord who has infiltrated the Emperor's entourage, and in the process, saves the Emperor and earns the respect of the beggars.
