Romantic melodrama set in contemporary Hong Kong, Japan and Laos. Hiroshi Tanaka (Takarada) is a Japanese journalist on assignment in Hong Kong who meets and falls in love with Wu Li Hung (Ming).

A joyous Tanaka flies off to Laos to finish an assignment but on the eve of his wedding he is killed there.
