Plot

In Lion vs. Lion, a teacher comes across a secret list of anti-Qing rebel names and quickly becomes a target for Qing loyalists. Lo Meng plays an ex-police officer who teams up with a coffin maker and con man (played by kung fu comedic actor Wong Yue) to return a lost package to a mysterious woman (Sharon Yueng). Meng and Yue get caught up in the situation further after winning a lion dance contest against Wang Lung-Wei in which the prize contains the list he is also after.
