Jade (Maggie Cheung) is one of these Hong Kong people. She moves to Canada with her boyfriend Peter (Alfred Cheung), who suggests that she stay with Bo (Sammo Hung) for a while so that a bogus marriage can get her the right of abode in Canada. Bo, an ex-boxer who has already obtained a Canadian passport, accepts this plan solely because he needs money to repay his debts. However, the very night Jade moves in with Bo, Peter flees with all of Jades money. Bo & Jade, while still confused about their next move, have to face the immigration officers inspection of their "e;marital life."e;
