Plot

[edit]

In Pak Tau town near the provincial capital during the era of the Republic of China, rich heir Chin Yat-tim (Andy Lau) falls in love with Cho-cho (Patricia Chong), a prostitute working on a flower boat. Yat-tim deliberately gets close to Cho-cho to please her. However, Cho-cho's heart belonged to her childhood friend, Wong Siu-po (Stephen Tung), a poor worker of the flower boat. Although Siu-po has feelings for Cho-cho, she did not dare to confess to her due to his poverty and low social status. Later, under a strange combination of circumstances, Cho-cho was forced to marry rich tycoon Lui Chin-pang (Lau Dan).

In actuality, Lui is a pirate. One day, after successfully robbing treasures, he was discovered by Ko Yung (Lau Siu-ming), who wanted a share of the treasures. As a result, the two launched an attack against one another, causing havoc on the flower boat.

After Lui's identity was exposed and was arrested, Cho-cho regains her freedom and reunites with Siu-po. At this time, Yat-tim gets Siu-po and Cho-cho's help during a family crisis. Being grateful to the two, Yat-tim reconciles with Siu-po and exits the love triangle between him, Cho-cho and Siu-po, and is determined to accomplish a major achievement.
