As with many Hong Kong comedies, the humor in this movie is screwball and slapstick and the plot goes all over the place. The movie basically takes on a hint of the Cinderella fairytale, where two housebreaker brothers steal a diamond that was eyed by triad members. Then, TV actress Cheung Man Ju gets mixed up in the plot.

The plot was steady and the acting was crazy fun. Lots of A-list actors in this one and, although not the best Hong Kong comedy out there, it does have its moments of entertainment, romance and humor.
