In a sort of Hong Kong Indiana Jones adventure, a young man works as a writer for a magazine, but he is not producing enough material. His imagination takes him back to an ancient time, when the Scripture With No Words was lost; if only it can be found then the world can be made a better place. Where is it? Well, it's in a safe at the Japanese embassy.
Given the historic tensions between the two countries, how could a young Chinese writer get in there? Well, an acquaintance, Chung Fat-pai has an invitation to a reception hosted by the Japanese, and, yes, he would be agreeable to letting the young man and a friend go along with him. A voice-over helpfully explains to us that the idea is to cut off the electricity and steal the Scripture in the dark. Seems entirely straightforward.
While all this is being negotiated, the cancan is being danced to Offenbach's familiar music, which somehow seems bizarrely out of place. Anyway we now see the guests arriving at the reception; Fat-pai is waved in, and he says, this is my first wife, second and third concubines ... and our two adventurers are the eighth and ninth concubines.
"Don't seduce anyone," says one to the other, but inevitably some men find them so irresistible that they want to dance with them.
There are some alternative titles:
Dr Wai and the Scripture Without Words;
Mao xian wang; and
The Scripture with No Words.
