Ghost On The Loose

A big house is haunted by four ghosts. Three families moved in at different times, including Ling Da Ting and his pregnant mistress Lu Bi, the jeweler Wang Tian Xiang and his family, and the retired dance instructor Hua Luo Shi and his family. Although the house is haunted, the younger generations can communicate and play with the ghosts. Lu Bi went into labor, and the four ghosts competed to be reincarnated. Once, Lu Bi was saved by Zhuang Wei Qiang, who had a crush on her. Xiao also fell in love with Lu Bi, and they began a romance. Eventually, the three families faced eviction but became close friends after going through ups and downs together. The three families helped the ghosts reincarnate, and they tearfully said goodbye at a banquet.

Directed by Thomas Ng Yun-Chuen, Ghost On The Loose leans on a strong ensemble — Shek Sau, Regina Tsang Hing-Yu, Danny Lau Dan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1983.
