Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This Japanese comedy follows the exploits of a magazine journalist and his best pal, a dancer. The story begins when the reporter helps the dancer get booked on an Asian tour. Their first stop is Hong Kong. The two are joined by a wealthy friend who wants to come. Unfortunately, she has no passport or ticket. Her two friends end up stuffing her into their suitcase and sneaking her through customs. In Hong Kong they meet a Chinese gentleman claiming to be a wealthy man--actually he is the secretary of the man he pretends to be. He promises to help them during their stay. The trouble begins when the dancer discovers that the promoter has taken all her money and disappeared. During her performance, the dancer is seen by the secretary's boss; he offers to make her his 13th concubine. Fortunately her friend comes to save her by threatening to expose the wealthy man in her magazine unless he allows his son to marry the singer instead. In the end, the three go home to Japan when they learn that their parents have alerted the authorities that they are missing.
