内容介绍 :	Due to the dogmatic practice of the tutor, Ngau Tsai and Chuen Tsai, who are from the same neighbourhood, have no interest in their studies. Ngau Tsai comes from a poor family. His father is a clerk whose meagre salary is not sufficient to feed the six members in his family. His mother spends her time playing mahjong, neglecting her children. One day, Ngau Tsai gets into a fight with Chuen Tsai. He is beaten up by his mother and since then runs away from home. Influenced by the fantasies of comic books, he tries to seek and learn from a master of mystical powers, but fails. He resorts to theft to survive. Chuen Tsai, on the other hand, comes from a well-to-do family. His father is a broker and his mother is a kind woman who tends to spoil her child. Far from punishing his son for fighting, Chuen Tsai's father rewards him with a cowboy outfit. Chuen Tsai is a keen reader of cowboy comics and often imitates the actions of his cowboy heroes. As a result, he is injured in an accident. Meanwhile, Ngau Tsai is about to commit a theft. The victim turns out to be his own mother. Running away, Ngau Tsai is hit by a car and dies from his injuries. The parents of the two families now regret that they failed to teach their children the morals of life.
