- Synopsis
- In the millionaires’ bay of Hong Kong, a fisherman’s day is ruined when his net is destroyed by a motor yacht. The net blocks the motor yacht propeller leaving the couple onboard, a young model and her much older boyfriend, stranded in the middle of the sea. The fisherman decides to remove the net before negotiating a payment for the damage done. In the process, he develops an attraction for the woman. To avoid the fisherman’s flirtations, the woman asks the him to bring some fresh fish from his speedboat. Insolent and stingy, the old man uses this opportunity to escape, leaving the fisherman’s services unpaid. The fisherman searches the coastline for hours, until he discovers the couple and has a final confrontation with the elder man.
