Plot summary
Ko Chun plays games of chance for high stakes and beats Ueyama, the top ranked gambler in Japan, in Tokyo. Ueyama asks him to take revenge on Chan Kam-sing, the Demon of Gamblers, who cheated Ueyama's father, and Ko Chun agrees, asking only for a box of chocolate. Ueyama sends the bodyguard Dragon to protect him. Meanwhile Little Knife, an amateur gambler who idolizes the God of Gamblers, sets a practical joke trap for a neighbor. A fight on a train sends Ko Chun stumbling into it, and he falls down a hill and hits his head. Knife, who does not know who the man is, gives him shelter and calls him Chocolate for his love of the candy.
