This well-balanced and occasionally moving comedy includes one of the first adult rôles by Josephine Siao Fong Fong after she had primarily been a teenage idol a decade earlier. She plays the rôle of the single 26-year-old May Wong, who sublets a flat and suddenly finds herself saddled with the seaman Yu and his daughter of eight. Yu has been left by his wife and is battling in vain for guardianship of his daughter. Yu doesn’t want to go to sea any more and decides to become an inventor, but his inventions are stolen by his partner. At first Wong wants nothing to do with Yu. Both Yu and Wong have their quirks and there are plenty of slap-stick situations. Gradually Wong starts feeling sympathetic towards Yu. When she wants to declare her love for him, Yu has decided he does want to go back to sea. Wong soon hears a report that Yu has been shipwrecked.
