La Femme Desperado

KO CHI LING is glad that her business trip was cancelled. She heads for home in delight, but is shocked to find her husband MAN KING LEUNG cheating on her. She demands a divorce. She does not want her father to know about her separation with LEUNG, thus checks in a hotel temporarily. The house of the KO’s family needs renovation. LING’s father WING TIM decides to undertake a complete make over as a gesture to welcome his baby grandson. LING lends him all her savings of $200,000 in the name of LEUNG. LING comes across LEUNG’s mistress GINNY at the fitness center. GINNY makes fun of LING and they end up in a quarrel. Coach CHAI FOON overhears their conversation. LING works at “PLUTO” and her superior at work has been dismissed.… ...

LING plans to finish the research report on her own, but FOON helps out when she is asleep. She is praised by HILDA the next day and appreciates FOON’s help. She treats FOON to lunch. They come across LEUNG and GINNY at the restaurant. FOON pretends to be LING’s boyfriend and helps her get back at LEUNG. TIM mistakenly thinks LING is having an affair and hits FOON.
