The introduction of colour into film brought Cantonese-language musicals into a new, literally colourful age. In this unique Cinderella-esque tale, Connie Chan stars as a young song bird who is treated like a servant by her mean-spirited aunt. However, her beautiful voice and graceful dance talents enchant a handsome musician (Lui Kay). Not only does Chan get to show off dance styles from around the world, she even gets to have a little fun sharing the dance floor with various household objects.
