Synopsis
After Sing (Stephen Chow) uses his special powers to beat Hung Kwong (Paul Chun) in the Gambling King Competition, his elder sister Mei (Anita Mui) is ordered by the Special Power Clan in Mainland China to bring him back as he is not supposed to use his special powers for gambling. Meanwhile, Sing is on a world tour and Mui cannot find him in their Third Uncle's (Ng Man-tat) home. In the meantime, Sing's ex-Taiwanese boss Chan Chung (Jeffrey Lau) is looking for him to represent Taiwan again in another upcoming world gambling competition. Since he cannot be found, his uncle is at his wit's end to find someone with similar powers to replace him. Whence, comes a rescuer in the form of a local female gambler by the name of Fanny (Carol Cheng'), aka Queen of Gambling, at a fish market. But in reality, she is no more than a con artist fooling her fellow fishmongers. Fanny decides to pretend to have special powers because she needs a large sum of money to cure her younger brother's illness.
