Description
Ti Chow (Stephen Chow) is a poor laborer working at construction sites. He lives in a half-demolished house with his son, Dicky (Xu Jiao). Chow is eager to save up money to send his son to private school to ensure that his future will be better and brighter than life is now for them. However, Dicky is often bullied by other children and his teacher (mainly because of his lowly stature), and he usually finds comfort with a young tutor, Ms. Yuen.
One day, while at a department store watching television, Dicky begs his father to buy him a popular robotic toy. Because of empty pockets, Chow cannot buy it, and the situation ends badly after Chow spanks the stubborn Dicky in front of other people. Once again, Dicky finds comfort in Ms. Yuen, who was passing. That night, Chow visits a junkyard (where he usually picks up clothes and other home appliances for Dicky) and brings home a strange green orb; he tells Dicky it is a new toy better than the robot they saw earlier. Dicky is hesitant at first, but agrees to keep it. A night later, it turns out to be a cuddly alien that befriends Dicky. After playing, Dicky falls asleep and dreams the alien, whom he names CJ7, will help him gain popularity and high grades at school (Homages to Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle are made in the dream sequence.) Positive, Dicky brings CJ7 to school the next morning, but it turns out his dream was only a dream; he ends up receiving a zero on his exam and getting humiliated at physical education. Dicky tries to dispose of the alien, but realizes his mistake and reconciles with it at home. Over the next day, because of CJ7, Dicky finds new friends at school. However, because his schoolwork grades have been declining, Chow takes CJ7 away, claiming his son will never pass school if there are distractions. The father and son have a falling out, and, predictably, Dicky sticks close to Ms. Yuen, who promises she will look after the boy. This cheers Chow up somewhat, who is fearing he might lose his son's love.
Later, while Chow is working on top of a skyscraper, he accidently falls off. He later dies at a hospital, and Ms. Yuen takes Dicky home, telling him of the circumstances. The boy then shoves his tutor out of the house; in tears he keeps telling himself that his father will never leave him alone.
At the hospital, CJ7, using its otherworldly powers, revives Chow and transports him home. The next morning, Dicky, in tears of happiness, promises his father he will never give up at school and in life. But CJ7's rescue is costly, as his own life fades away due to exhaustion. While Dicky waits and waits for his pet to resurrect, he receives a message (presumably from CJ7): continue on his schoolwork. As he does, things go back to normal, with Chow attempting to flirt with Ms. Yuen (with little success), and Dicky playing with his new friends. One calm afternoon, Dicky's wildest dream greets him when a UFO zooms by, dropping hundreds of healthy CJ7s in the process.
