After a comically disastrous wedding night, Mei Yang initiates his wife into the pleasures of sex. Failing to heed the advice of an elderly monk, Mei Yang leaves Yuk Heung in order to pursue a life of ordered womanizing. A pitiful Don Juan with a beleaguered Leporello, Mei Yang discovers that he is, comment dit-on, unequipped for the task.
