Equally great at writing and directing, Doe Ching was a filmmaker that Run Run Shaw valued greatly. The first variety widescreen production made at the new Shaw Brothers Studio, this uproarious comedy was designed to promote the studio's four new actresses. The story begins when the life of foreign educated bachelor Peter (Peter Chen Ho) is turned upside down following an article about his strict criteria for a wife brings him the attention of four women: Relentless reporter Miss Lee (Grace Ding Ling), depressed widow Miss Chiu (Pat Ting Hung), a rich heiress (Margaret Tu Chuan) and fame-starved sales girl Miss Chin (Fanny Fan Lai). In the end, Peter and Miss Lee work together to solve the other three women's problems, bringing this light, comical story to its happy ending.
