Chor Lau-heung brings his three girlfriends (Lei Hung-sau, So Yung-yung and Sung Tim-yee) with him to attend Tso Hing-hau's birthday party. On the way, they meet Song Siu-ching, a spoilt and arrogant girl. After arriving at Tso's house, strange things start happening. Tso's daughter, Ming-lai, is in love with Sit Ban, a youth from a rival family. In the Sit family, Sit Yan, Sit Ban's younger sister, is in love with Yip Sing-nam and wants to be with him, but her father forbids her because Yip Sing-nam is an actor. Tso Ming-lai and Sit Yan attempt to fake their deaths in order to resolve the feuds between their families, but Chor Lau-heung discovers the truth and decides to secretly help the lovers be together.
