Plot 

Robert fails school while studying abroad in America, because he spent too much time flirting with American girls and not enough time studying. Robert's mother, angry that her son has failed school, sends him back to Hong Kong to live with his aunt in hopes that he will marry a Chinese girl.

Returning to Hong Kong does not change Robert; he continues to spend all day flirting. His average-looking younger cousin, Ko Lo-chuen, wants to date a film star, Lam Siu-ha. Robert seems to be helping his cousin pursue her, but actually he wants to date her himself.

One night at a  party, Robert notices a pretty rich girl named Fa who is working as a waitress. Ha sees Robert flirting with Fa, and, understandably hurt, she lambastes Fa, even though Robert tells her that nothing happened.

Fa is upset by Ha's behavior, and goes to her father to complain about her treatment. Robert's father then advises her on how to ruin Robert and Ha's relationship.
