While WAH is discussing with YUEN how to explain to his wife LAN their failure to recover the balance due, LAN discovers that WAH has been gambling on the horses. The couple soon get into a severe quarrel. YUEN and his friend DONG together with TUNG are invited to Milano Restaurant, where DONG’s brother NAM is working as a chef, to comment on a trial menu. TUNG grumbles about her supervisor MING all through the dinner and YUEN just suggests writing a story of his favourite horse ‘Little Elephant’.

   YEE works in a comic company, though she is not willing to. She stays there all for her sister TUNG’s sake. YUEN has applied to be a stable worker. WAH knows for sure that LAN is going to object to it and thus persuades YUEN to give up. With the help of DONG, TUNG has successfully transferred to the Horse Racing Section. MING points out that she could not have done this without DONG, which irks TUNG. TUNG’s youngest sister YAN slips away from home to chill out but gets hurt at the end. As commanded by TUNG, YAN cannot go out until she has finished the HKCEE examination. YUEN meets YEE again after the interview. He calls her ‘Miss Ill-luck’ while she addresses him as ‘Mr. Stupid’.

YUEN and CANDY have been assigned to the same stable for practical training. Both of them are late on their first working day and are blamed by SAM, the number-two supervisor of the stable. YUEN comes to know that the guy who beat Little Elephant is actually SAM’s nephew and he therefore can foresee he himself is going to suffer under SAM’s supervision. All of YEE’s colleagues say their boss WAI is fond of YEE. CHIU asks TUNG to take some photos of horse training and TUNG has to turn to YUEN for help. TUNG’s efforts are very much appreciated by the editor TONG while YUEN is blamed by SAM. Luckily, CHI the horse trainer is there trying to defend YUEN……

YUEN learns from SUP that JANG was an eminent horse trainer but is notorious for having poisoned horses. Little Elephant has recovered its appetite. YUEN is so surprised by this but he soon finds out the reason – sweets dropped into the horse feed have lured it back to food. CHIU suggests to TONG that TUNG may substitute for SHING who is on sick leave to write a special feature. TUNG again asks for YUEN’s help. Horse trainer CHU asks YUEN to saddle up Little Elephant but it has gone crazy as soon as it sees the saddle. YUEN tries to calm it down and is hurt.
