The Story

Alan Tang plays the role of a stable hand who is trying to get ahead in life. He goes to stable in a suit and carrying a brief case and then washes and exercises horses. One day while he is riding, he catches the eye of a beautiful lady played by Huang Chu Yan, who is also a film producer and director. They are attracted to each other immediately.

Huang wants to make a film about a jockey and thinks Tang is an excellent choice. She does not realize that he is just an exercise boy. Tang, for his part, tries to keep up the deception by wearing suits and carrying a jockey helmet.

Tang rents a room in a home and then discovers that the film producer lives there as well. Tang also shares a place with his two buddies, played by Kei Siao Pao and Pao Li . The film revolves around their individual romances as well as the romances of several other stars who sing a lot, including Lydia Sum.

As Tang and Huang become closer and she invites her business friends to go to the the races and watch Tang ride. Tang continues to fake his role by having his fat buddy Kei Siao Pao dress up and pretend to be his boss. Tang then disappears as if he is going to go ride in a race. Huang is very excited and then shocked when she sees Tang, who as a stable hand, is holding a horse. She doesn't tell Tang he has been discovered and decides to get even.

She invites Tang to play a role in one of her productions which involves him wearing whiskers and a cowboy outfit and ends up with him fighting in the mud. In another setting she has him play a Kung Fu guy and has him really beaten by several other fighters during the movie. While making a fool of himself, Tang catches the eye of another movie big-shot who likes what he sees. This makes Tang very happy and Huang decides to forgive him.

WARNING CONCLUSION: Tang and Huang go for a romantic boat ride and fall in love. They end up having a dual marriage with Tang's buddy Pao Li and his girlfriend. Tang's other fat friend Kei Siao Pao also meets the fat girl of his dreams and they get married as well. The movie ends with the three couples driving off happily on their honeymoons.
