Chao Ke-jen, leader of a successful pop group, gets permission from his boss, Mr. Chen, to visit Japan, on one condition: he must find the boss’s daughter, Chiu-ting, who disappeared somewhere in that country. The singer’s only clue in the search is a childhood photo of Chiu-ting and the information that she has a mole on her chest.
Arriving at a Japanese resort hotel, Chao and his group meet several girls: Hanako, daughter of the local police chief, Li-ping, Chao’s cousin who works at the hotel, Susan, a singer there, and a girl who admits to being the missing Chiu-ting.
Chao, pursued by all these women, gets into one mix-up after another. Matters are further complicated when it turns out that the self-proclaimed “Chiu-ting” is a geisha named Senko, while the real Chiu-ting is Susan, the true object of Chao’s affections. After surmounting more obstacles, including parental objections, Chao and Susan can be married.
