Shi-Jie is a brilliant martial artist from the Kungfu School. The master of the school adopted him as a baby, when he was found abandoned in the woods. His remarkable kungfu skills stem from his innate intuition and ability to read his opponents moves.
One day, he encounters a group of youths playing basketball and shows off how easy it is for him, with his martial arts training, to do a Slam Dunk. Watching him was Chen-Li, a shrewd businessman, who decides that he would exploit Shi-Jie to make some money. Under the guise of helping Shi-Jie to find his family, he recruits him to play varsity basketball at the local university.
By some strange coincidence, the girl that Shi-Jie has had a long-standing crush on is the sister of the basketball team’s captain, Ting-Wei. In a bid to get her attention, he acts out by challenging the team star and Li-Li’s idol Xiao-Lan, throwing off the team’s game. Ting-Wei steps in to resolve the conflict, and in the process, helping Shi-Jie to focus his energies on the game and adapting his kung fu skills for basketball.
The major rival team, lead by Lee Tien, is so ruthless they have been banned from competing in the United States. In the championship match against Ting-Wei’s team, they bribe the referees to turn a blind eye to their underhanded tactics against the humble university team. In the face of all adversity, Shi-Jie and the team learn their most important lessons and pull out all the stops to win the game.
