Director Li Han-hsiang teams up again with the irreverent comedic talents of Michael Hui Kwun-man in this tongue-in-cheek drama. Corruption is strife in Wan Ping County in Hopei Province. Two good-for-nothing loafers Chen Ming (Michael Hui Kwun-man) and Chia Liang (Wang Sheng) arrive and turn the officials on their head. After a bout of blackmailing, they end up in positions of power themselves. It's all done with the best intentions, or so they believe.
由名導演李翰祥所編導的《醜聞》，有冷面笑匠許冠文、金馬獎最佳男配角井淼及恬妮、谷峰等巨星坐鎮，陣容一時無倆。故事背景在河北省某貪污成風的小縣內，流浪漢甄明（許冠文）與賈亮（王琛）因掌握一眾縣官的貪污或醜聞證據，得以順水推舟假扮縣長，把各官員玩弄於股掌之中，但最終筆鋒一轉，結局出人意表。全片帶出人生如戲的黑色幽默外，也狠狠地鞭撻為官者殘民以自肥的無恥行為，可見編導者的匠心獨運
