Upon his arrival in village of China, Sammo Hung finds his house empty with his childhood friend (who has now married his sister) - Sammo is told that his parents are in other village with their pregnant daughter, thus, he is accompanied by his female cousin 'Odds-and-Ends' to travel through China and become friendly in the process - . A serious drama film, that only works best with Sammo in the lead - Sammo keeps distinguishing personality to maintain seriousness and dramatization of the character. Eight Taels of Gold is the only film in which Sammo has no fight sequences - a tale of growing love story, pure family orientation in culturally valued China.
