内容介绍 :	Ho Pui-fun loses her husband during the war and has to raiser her daughter on her own. Due to her straitened circumstances, Ho Pui-fun approaches Tong Put-sang for help but is tragically raped. Put-sang then tricks her into working for a bogus company which is a brothel in disguise. The old prostitute Oi-lai takes pity on Pui-fun and is willing to help her escape but Pui-fun stays on for the sake of earning money to feed her family. Pui-fun falls in love with ricksaw puller Lee Yik-man who has spent days in jail for illegal hawking. Upon his release, he goes searching for Pui-fun. Meanwhile, Yik-man's mother and brother are staying with Pui-fun. When Put-sang hears that Yik- man has come out of jail, he plots to have him killed. He also pays the landlady to have Lee's mother and Pui-fun's child evicted from the premise. Pui-fun, however, is virtually under house arrest. Her money is confiscated. One day, while escaping a raid by the police, Pui-fun and Oi-lai hide in a coffee house and there Pui-fun hears the calls of her daughter. Though happy to see her own daughter, Pui-fun feels so shamed that she goes up a tall building to jump down. Saddened by her friend's death, Oi-lai allies herself with Pui-fun's relatives and friends to bring down Put-sang. Their objective realised, the relatives and friends take a boat to travel to new pastures. (Extracted from "Original story of A couple in distress," Wah Kiu Yat Po, 1949/3/23.)
备注 :	Asequel to Su Yi's "A couple in distress", though both films work as separate pictures in their own rightBecause of its content which exposes the vices of the society, the film had problems passing through the censors At one point, the director had to translate the dialogue into English before the film was passed the censorshipFilm review, 'It tries its best to expose the dark side of our semi-feudal colonial society Based on the story of two generals' widows, the film reflects the irresponsible behaviour of the dictatorial rulers' (Tai-pak Kwai-tsi Jizi, "Film and drama column", Wen Wei Po, 1949/3/29)
