Plot edit
Wu Te-chuan, a young man, is penniless and he is a conman. He is about to be thrown out of a Macau hotel, but he gets help from Hsiao Yen, a kind-hearted hotel maid. He had to flee to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, he helped Hsin, a painter, by convincing him that his paintings will sell if he pretends to be dead. Both Wu and Hsin teamed up and engaged in con games, gambling and sex, but the ring enforcers caught up to them. After Wu falls in love with Hsiao Yen, he wanted to turn his life around.[5]
