Hui is the chief editor of a Hong Kong magazine. The magazine deals in gossip and its sales have fallen. The company is on the edge of closing. Hui is looking for a big story for the cover. He puts his reporter on it. The man meets a woman called San-San. She is engaged to a wealthy jewellery businessman. The reporter goes after her to get the story out. The closer he gets, though, the more his view changes. Her life is not what it was taken to be. Running the piece would do her harm. The reporter hesitates over publishing. The fate of the magazine rests on exactly that point. The film tells all of it as comedy. Michael Hui and Sam Hui appear in the ninety two minute film, a Hong Kong production Philip Chan Yan-Kin finished in 1990.
