The story follows a rich, comfortable household thrown into escalating turmoil after a shabby vendor of sweet potatoes suffers a stroke in their drawing room. His presence alone isn't much of a catalyst (although it does spark plenty of interest and attention from the victim's greedy and envious tenement neighbors), but serves instead to counterpoint the absurd behavior of everyone around him. A large cast of sympathetic and eccentric characters bustles constantly in and out of each (oddly lit) scene, but despite all the frenzied activity and sharp dialogue the film presents a rather quaint moral: too much money spoils true love.
影片讲述了两大醉拳宗师的故事。苏化子,范大杯无以为生,专干偷鸡摸狗下三流勾当。一日,人偷採葡萄,被酒厂师父张七逮到,罚二人在酒厂当工还钱。张七见苏化子与范大杯天资聪明,於是将自己一身的功夫传援二人。一日苏化子与范大杯路见不平,开罪了鹰爪功霸主黄虎,而另一方面,叶虎得知张七是张果老後人,派手下金豹率众捉拿张七,酒厂老闆决不交人,於是金豹命人将酒厂拆毁,把酒厂工人杀尽......郭南宏的功夫片可谓是花样百出,但大部分质量有限,本片作为其后期作品,已经很难与当时的香港功夫片相比,好在此片武术指导是袁祥仁,袁家班的醉拳还是颇有看头的。
