His gambling debts are always getting him into trouble and his only regular income comes from selling himself as a human guinea pig to a medical lab. His opinion of women has been marred by his divorce from his wife (Joyce Godenzi), but desperate for cash he agrees to marry a Chinese immigrant named Jade Lee (Maggie Cheung) to get her into Canada. Things don't go to plan when Jade's boyfriend Peter (Alfred Cheung) runs away with all the money leaving Bo and Jade penniless to try and get by. The relationship doesn't start too well, and they both have to take desperate measures to try and get their lives in order. Bo goes back to prize fighting and Jade gets involved in a different kind of fighting. Then one day a bag of money literally falls into their hands.
