In Cantonese cinema circa 1961, no screen couple generated as much celluloid heat as Patsy Kar Ling and Patrick Tse Yin. The two then-25-year-olds had co-starred two dozen times and were such an integral part of Hong Kong's pop culture that (1961) was able to strike comedy gold by taking self-reference to new extremes.

The marital farce was another sparkling work by Chun Kim, director, scriptwriter, and co-founder of Kong Ngee, the Cantonese studio most in-tune with the tastes and trends of Hong Kong's younger generation. In , Chun endowed the sometimes slapstick proceedings with a degree of wit and sophistication that transformed them to a higher level - but not too high to preclude mainstream audience approval.

Most unusual was the use of the stars' personae as motivating factors in their fictional romance.

In the role of Tse Sing, Tse plays an office worker well aware of his resemblance to the celebrity and mournful that his humble station prevented him from ever snaring a prize as lovely as Kar Ling. He is thus astounded when the actress' ringer, Cheung Wai-ling (Kar Ling), comes in to apply for a job as secretary, little suspecting that Ling is the mistress of his boss (Keung Chung-ping). Once the latter's wife (Sheung Kwun Kwan-wai) gets wind of the new employee, complications ensue that force the Patrick and Patsy "look-alikes" to masquerade as a couple.
