On their way to the dragon, Slaven and the sensei go through various trials such as meeting Ching Chang Chong’s evil student Chang Chong Ching and the singing elves. Will they be able to get the dragon’s tears and save Janko? Find out in this dangerously funny and intense Slavonian kung fu screen comedy.
