Girl with the Diamond Slipper

1985 · 89 min

A breezy, silly caper that bounces from one slapstick mishap to the next, carried by charm and star wattage rather than logic.

Overview
Two hopeless housebreaker brothers, Ah Chi and Fatty, steal a diamond that had already been earmarked by a criminal gang. Through a series of unfortunate and - frankly - unlikely events, the diamond ends up in the shoe of a rising star TV actress Cheung Man Ju. They pursue her all over Hong Kong until finally tracking her down at a charity ball where she must leave by midnight, and accidentally loses a shoe in the process.
