The Happiest Moment is an erotic comedy anthology set in Northern China during WWII. In the opening story, Hui plays Luo, a lecherous old bluffer whose sexual desires are too much for his weakened sai lo. Resorting to an Indian aphrodisiac that must be consumed three hours beforehand and only works for thirty minutes, Luo carefully plans out his day to the second. However, a Japanese military parade throws off his schedule, necessitating a second dose and unforeseen consequences for him and his girlfriend (Tanny Tien Ni). Hui also appears in a second role (patterned after his Marshal Pang character from THE WARLORD) as the local police lieutenant, who figures out a way to profit from the situation. The officer then announces the opening of a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases but, unfortunately, ends up with syphilis himself. On the plus side, he now has an excuse to supervise the prostitute examinations. In the next segment, Hui plays an elderly woman with stomach trouble who checks into a far too accommodating hospital that allows her to eat whatever rich foods she desires. The final story centers around dimwitted apprentice barber Xiao Liu (Hui), who is caught between his money-obsessed boss and the man's shrewish wife (Hu Chin). After a year in the shop, Xiao Liu has still not mastered the basics of the trade, so his boss makes the mistake of letting the bumbling lad practice on him. When Xiao Liu is asked to join a group of men standing watch over a recently deceased local, he gets some unexpected help with his mahjong game.
