Chi-man (Michael Hui), homme à tout faire et acteur raté, est un employé de la chaîne Mouse TV (MTV) qui ne se voit proposer que des tâches de second plan comme de la figuration très loin derrière les vedettes. Il rencontre alors un représentant de la chaîne concurrente Cat TV (CTV) qui lui propose un contrat très intéressant de cinq ans pour le débaucher. Cependant, son contrat de huit ans avec MTV n'est pas encore arrivé à terme et le nouveau directeur de la chaîne (l'ancien s'est fait désavoué par le conseil d’administration qui l'a jeté par la fenêtre par la même occasion) n'a pas l'intention de le laisser partir. Chi-man, avec l'aide de son frère magicien, Sai-kit (Sam Hui), et de son autre frère inventeur pseudo-scientifique, Chi-ying (Ricky Hui), va élaborer d’improbables stratagèmes pour récupérer son contrat.
