At the prodigy of the heavens, the nemesis of the demon world, the saint of the universe Monkey King (Dicky Cheung Wai Kin) has been chosen to go to the Xi Zhuang to retrieve the "San Zhuang Sutras" in order to save the universe from a forthcoming disaster and to rid the world of demons in the service of the gods. In the heavenly palace, Monkey meets Ne Zha (Jimmy Lin) and the two become an odd couple. One day, Monkey wreaks havoc in the palace and is punished by having to consider his actions for 500 years. The only way he can be saved is to accompany Tang San Zhuang (Edmond Leung) to the west and retrieve the Sutra. On the way there, San Zhuang adopts the White Dragon Horse (Andy Hui), Sandy (Sam Li) and Piggy (Eric Kot) as disciples and the five travel together. Along the route, they meet many demons and spirits sent by the demon king and much hardship, but the five eventually defeat them all and complete their mission.
