When Tsui (Tsi Lo Lin) and her mother (Wong Man-lei) returns to Hong Kong f rom Southeast Asia, they tur n to their distant relative But Lo-tung (Lam Kwun-shan) for help. Even though Lotung is one of the richest men in town, he's also an incredibly stingy man. Vying for the But family inheritance, Lo-tung's eight concubines and Tsui's mother force Tsui to marry Lo-tung's dim-witted son (Lee Ching). To Ping co-stars as a lowlife who sponges off his wife (Yung Siu-yi) by marrying her off to Lo-tung as his eighth concubine. To is gleefully slimy in the scene in which he goes to the But estate to demand money.
