Synopsis
Tai Leung, a dreamer and a carver of ivory images, falls in love with Ko Ai, who is overworked and mistreated by her foster father Chong Wo, a restaurant owner. She becomes radiantly happy under the influence of Tai Leung's love. Determined to take her away from her life of drudgery, he wins the father's consent by promising a vast sum of money. Tai Leung learns that The Wolf, a pirate who has been sentenced to hang, will pay a substitute handsomely, and Tai Leung agrees to take his place. The marriage of the young couple follows, and Ko Ai is happy, ignorant of the terms of her husband's agreement. At the stipulated time, Tai Leung presents himself at the prison to be executed and learns that the convict has died and justice is satisfied. Returning to his wife, he finds that she has inhaled poisonous incense, but he is able to revive her and they are happily united.
