One day, a dying Sifu flees from the Imperial City to a small village. He is found by a humble farmhouse cook named Fu who, at the request of the dying Shifu, must return a very important Kung Fu Academy Tablet to the Shifu's daughter Moli in the Imperial City. Never having been to the city, Fu already gets off to a dangerous start - the old master and his daughter have gone missing! But to keep his promise, Fu has no choice but to stay in the Academy to wait for their return. He's bullied from day one for knowing no kung fu. But serving as a cook there, he picks up some kung fu as the days go by. He meets a mysterious girl (Moli) who identifies herself as Moyan to protect her safety. Fu doesn't know that this girl is the one he's supposed to pass the tablet to. After many misunderstandings, they are finally able to connect - but not before the big bad villain Slash decides to kill Moli and Fu for intervening with his evil plan to take over the entire China.
