Well, if I had known the sound was so bad I might not have bought the vcd. It's that bad. Still, it's worth it for at least one reason: I'm pretty sure I spotted a very young Sai Gwa Pau in the wedding party scene! This would make it his film appearance that I’ve seen of him.

Here's a recap of the plot with a big assist from HKFA's Hong Kong Filmography:

Sit Kok-Sin's character Mung and his lover Fong (Hung Sin Nui) are separated at the onset of the war in Guangzhou. Mung, now works in Hong Kong, where Man (Lam Mui Mui) is the sister of the company boss.
As a condition of borrowing money to save his dad, Mung agrees to marry Man. On the eve of his wedding, Fong shows up as a singer/entertainer at the party. The summary lists two songs and I’m guessing that this is where the second song was. Afterwards, Mung's father persuades Fong to lie and tell Mung she is married to prevent problems. In a brief flashback, we see the residents fleeing the war. That night Mung and Man quarrel, Mung leaves her and Man wants a divorce when she discovers the truth about Fong.

Mung's father is again in financial trouble. Man tells her brother to marry Fong as a condition for lending him money. On the eve of her wedding, Fong takes poison. Mung arrives and he too takes the poison. Somehow, they two recover and the two are reunited in a happy ending.

I don’t know anything about opera star Sit Kok-Sin (any relation to Nancy Sit, I wonder?) but he has the looks for radio as they say. Hung Sin Nui looks quite young and fresh. Lam Mui Mui is not the full out shrew Lam Mui Mui will typically become yet. And it’s nice to see Fung Ying-Sheng, who died too young, as a manager for Man’s brother.

The vcd I have runs 78 minutes, the filmography list the running time as 80 minutes. As it is, the film itself feels like the director cheated and left gaps in the storytelling or else more than just one song was cut out or lost. The picture quality is quite acceptable for such an old film but the sound really is that bad.
