Fat couple Wu (Bill Tung) and Luk (Lydia Sum) runs a pizzeria and Luk dies of a sudden cardiac arrest while resisting an unscrupulous eviction. Her spirit is granted a chance in the netherworld to possess Diana (Maggie Cheung) and revisit the human world on the condition that her identity not be revealed. Tung and Sum had long been an iconic duo since It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World (1987), with Sum playing a dual role in this supernatural comedy. What adds to the comic is Cheung's mimicking of Sum, which was quite a breakthrough from her established onscreen persona characterised by feminine grace.
