Lin Chi-yung sitting for this year's School Certificate exam lost his father in earlier years and lives with his mother Chu. Chu exercises a strict rule over him, and he gets a breathing spell only through the help of his neighbor friend Chou Ming and sister Chou Wan. Ting Yi-fang and Wu Shun-hsing have known each other for years. Yi-fang is on the point of proposing marriage to him herself, but as he is flared up by the receipt of admission tickets from Tony for his concert, she has to console him instead. Chi-yung and Chou Ming watching a show clash with Ting Tang-tang and Tzu out of misunderstanding, and are unfavorably impressed by each other. Chi-yung was originally arranged to sing at a school party, but the headmaster later puts Tzu Fan on to sing the same song at the last minute. Resenting this, Chi-yung appears on the stage to compete in singing with him, much to the displeasure of both……

Chou Ming proposes that Chi-yung go to rehearse singing at Shun-hsing's Piano Company and the latter agrees. Chin Ta-wei goes to Shun-hsing's Piano Company for an interview for a piano teacher, but Shun-hsing only agrees to hire him as an all-round worker. Ta-wei turns it down, but later accepts it against his will when sneered at by his brother-in-law Chu Cheng. Shun-hsing agrees to appear for an interview by a D.J. on the air, but he leaves the Station in anger on finding that it is a topic on Tony's past. He buys a drink in a Night Club and meets Tony by chance. Tony tries to reconcile with him, but Shun-hsing jeers at him under the influence of liquor. Elated after the drink, Shun-hsing proposes to Yi-fang and she is both surprised and rejoiced. Seeing that Ku has been dating Chu for years, Chi-yung tries to arrange their match, but Chu turns it down cold……

Yi-fang, angry at Shun-hsing's proposed delay of their marriage, quarrels with him and declares to leave him. Shun-hsing volunteers to be the manager of Chi-yung's group and intends to organize them into a band in order to enter into a singing contest. Chi-yung and the others agree to the suggestion, however, since they have not reached the age of twenty-one, they have to seek parental permission. Tzu-fan then suggests the idea of joining the band to his parents. Ka-hsin, for the sake of respecting his interest, agrees reluctantly. Under Tang-tang's strenuous request, Yi-fang consents unwillingly as well. Chou Ming gets approval in-a gambling way. Chi-yung dares not raise the idea to Ho Chu himself, so he persuades Uncle Ku to do it for him. Ho Chu rejects bluntly, despite Chi-yung's promise to study hard. Uncle Ku reveals that Yung's father is also a singer, who has died in a shipwreck when eloping with another female singer……

Since Ta-wei's singing skill is neither up to standard nor matchable with Chi-yung's group, he is rejected from joining the band. Shun- hsing advises him to cultivate better relationship with the group members first. Later, Ta-wei breaks up with Chou Chai and gets accommodation in teh Piano Company with Shun-hsing's permission. Shun-hsing misses Yi-fang and thus goes to the Night Club to support her, begging forgiveness. Yi-fang is in fact in deep love with him, so the two make up their quarrel. Ta-wei makes use of Shun-hsing's reputation to get a .job in a pub, which proves to be unsuccessful due to his poor singing. Understanding Ta-wei's effort, Shun-hsing asks Yi-fang to give advice to him. Nevertheless, Ta-wei feels degraded when Yi-fang asks him to gain experience through becoming a dancer accompanying her singing……

Shun-hsing asks every band member to compose a new song so as to select the best to join the Contest. Chi-yung and Tzu-fan are highly interested in the idea, whereas Chou Ming and the others find it difficult. Chi-yung has no inspiration when composing the new song. However, the talk with Ho-chu has stimulated his feelings towards his father and consequently he composes a new song, 'The Heart Which Is Dead'. Tzu-fan, discovering the unusual behaviour of Wai-shun and Ka-hsin, gets inspiration and dedicates his new song to them. After listening to all the newly-composed songs, Shun-hsing selects Tzu-fan's song for the Contest and Chi-yung and Tang-tang to be the singers. Ta-wei feels very disappointed at not being chosen as the soloist. Then, Shun-hsing comforts him. Tzu-fan invites Tang-tang to practise singing at his home, and consequently, their relationship has progressed a lot……
