A Case of Misadventure

This story starts in Guangzhou, 2 generations after the great Chinese lawyer, Chan Mung Kut. We are introduced to his good-for-nothing-except-play grandson, Chan Tai Hei (William So). Although bearing the same family name, Chan Tai Hei is nothing like his grandfather or father. Exceptional lawyer he is not. So much so that nobody ever goes to him for legal aid. In comes Tai Foon (Flora Chan) seeking a lawyer to represent her husband, Law Bor (Derek Kwok), when he is arrested for murder. Chan Tai Hei very obviously loses the case for her, thus starting a hate-hate relationship between them. Chan Tai Hei then runs off to Hong Kong with his butler Ng Sam Sing (Cheung Chi Kwong).
