Plot
Wealthy businessman Ling Hin Kwong's (Peter Yang) "Tai Fook Company" is in the verge of collapse and his daughter Ling Ka Ming (Liza Wang) persuades him to let Cheng Sai Cheung (Adam Cheng), chairman of the People's Bank, to join the shares. Kwong thinks Man is to ambitious and cannot trust her, so he finds a solution with his son Ling Ka Yip (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai), who recently returned from the United States. However, Yip dies in a car accident, where Kwong suffers bereavement, while also oppressed by Cheung, finally declares bankruptcy. When Ling Ka Man and Cheng Sai Cheung's plan of annexing Tai Fook fell through, in order to develop her career, Man induces Lam Ling Chi (Jaime Chik) to leave Cheung, while Man marries with Cheung.
Cheng Sai Cheung's son Cheng Lap Kei (Stephen Chow) marries with the daughter of the People's Bank's boss, who has a son Ho Yin (Leung Sze Ho) with her ex-husband. Cheung is his sister in-law Yee Chu (Wing Lam) and Ho Yin's settlor, and takes advantage of Ho Yin's decision-making power in the bank to reap profits. Ling Hin Kwong's youngest son Ling Ka Ming (David Siu) marries Yee Chu. Cheung fears the two will vie for property, so he conspires with Ming's ex-girlfriend Maggie (Money Lo) to destroy their relationship. When Ming learns of Cheung's scheme, he searches for evidence of Cheung and his son Kei's embezzlement. In order to cover up his crimes, Cheung mistakenly kills his partner To Ming (Ray Lui).
