The Shaw Brothers films of the early 1980s clearly placed a significant emphasis on gambling themes. For example, this film, "The Gambler's Hero" which had a small budget but yielded considerable returns, is one of the representative works. Cheung Siu-Gor, who had just completed portraying a gambling king on television, returns to his old profession, playing the clever and resourceful mahjong hero, a character that is somewhat loyal and righteous. The story revolves around a young computer expert named Qian Xiaohai. In order to help him avoid having his mahjong parlor fall into the hands of the scoundrel Yue Hua, Cheung Siu-Gor doesn't hesitate to step back into the fray and battle it out, engaging in a battle of wits, ultimately coming out on top.
