Despite Fei's objections, Wong learns mahjong from compulsive gambler Chi Mo Sai. He impresses triad boss Tin Kau Ko, but falls in love with Tin's mistress Cheryl and is beaten up by his men. Wong goes crazy. Luckily, Fei cures him using Mahjong. Fei wants Wong to beat Tin in the climatic "King of Mahjong" competition.
