The doctor managed to transplant a horse's penis to replace the scholar's meager one. Armed with his new 20-inch penis, the scholar goes on a sexual rampage, not caring if he is seducing other men's wives or is nearly caught in the process. Meanwhile, Huk-Yeung, after experiencing the joys of sex, becomes sexually frustrated. She tries

masturbating with paintbrushes but is left unsatisfied until she has an affair with Wong Chut (Elvis Tsui), the husband of one of the wives the scholar seduced, who is now working as Yeung-Sheng's gardener. She becomes pregnant and runs away with him, who out of revenge sells her to a brothel. Mistress Ku, the madam (Carrie Ng
), assaults her leading to a miscarriage, originally unwilling she is coerced into becoming a prostitute and comes to enjoy her new life.

The scholar has become frail and sick due to too much sex (involving two sisters-in-law who are bisexual and into S&M). He goes to the brothel for treatment, where he is offered the top courtesan. At first, husband and wife cannot recognize each other; she looks at his penis and thinks it cannot be her husband's because his is small; he cannot recognize her because his eyesight is failing.

While they are having sex, he takes a close look at her figure and nipple and recognizes her. To her dismay, he screams, shouts and calls her a disgrace. To his dismay, she runs off and hangs herself. Yeung-Sheng, completely broken, goes back to the monk to ask for forgiveness.
