Long Summary:
Chow Kim Hung is a teacher and has two fathers whom he live together with in a small apartment. They would later move into a bigger apartment. His "Bah", called Chow Wing, is a great housekeeper. Hung's "Lo Dow", called Chow Mo is more outgoing. All three takes their turn as a cab driver. Mo is also a part time uniform police officer. Mo and Wing do not get along with each other but they live together because they both claim to be Hung's real father (The series never resolved who the real father was. However, it was mentioned by Wing that he met Hung's wife first. So, he and Hung's mother are probably married and Hung's Lo Dow is someone the mother had an affair with. According to a couple of people in the series, Hung looks more like Mo).
Chow Kim Hung meets Tse Bik Wah one day when he was driving the cab and Bik Wah was a passenger trying to get to an area notorious for prostitution. Hung mistakens her for a prostitute. Bik Wah is actually a cop and she was going to solve a crime involving a murder.
Hung and Bik Wah sees each other again at the school where Hung teaches. Bik Wah mistakens Hung as a student because she thinks he is just a taxi driver. She then realizes that he was the teacher of a classroom. Bik Wah's aunt teaches at the same school as Hung and Bik Wah was substituting the classroom for her aunt. Hung still thinks that Bik Wah is a prostitute because "she has mostly men paging her". Hung doesn't realize that she is a cop until he went to the police station. Apparently, his two fathers got into a huge fight and Wing accidentally hit Mo's head with a glass bottle. Mo decided to take Wing to the police station. At the police station, both fathers told an identical story of Hung's birth with each men switching roles. So, it was never known to anybody (even Hung) who the birth father really is. Bik Wah's father, who recruits clients for his law firm, takes up both of Hung's father as his client. Both men have the intention of suing one another until Hung told them not to. At this time, Bik Wah develops a crush on Hung. Hung's best friend has a crush on Bik Wah

Lum Siu Man also helped one of Hung's student defend a case when his student was wrongfully accused of grand theft. All the evidence went against this student but Hung, who was a witness, knew that his student was innocent. In court, Hung will use his amazing memory ability to help with this case.
Lum Siu Man's life is actually pretty sad. She has a father who always asks her for money and her mother is in need of a liver transplant. She tries really hard to be an honest lawyer but has not had a large case so she has trouble paying for her mother's medical expenses. Lum Siu Man starts to like Hung, but Hung only treats her as a friend.
One day, the three men meet Ho Piu Piu. Piu Piu claims that the apartment they are living in is actually hers. Piu Piu went out with a rich man, who she calls "Chee ge" and the apartment was actually given to her. Piu Piu is a naive girl who does not know how to take care of herself. Both of Hung's father fell head over heels for her and let her live with them because they felt sorry for her. They both fight for her attention but Piu Piu admits that she loves Ah Wing.

He plotted against Hung and regained the company. Hung now works in his student's Jewerly inspecting company while Wai returns to the jewelry company and works besides his uncle.
Hung's little company blooms. On the other hand, Wai's uncle was literally destroying the company. He got the company in debt and devised a plan to rob the company so that he can get insurance money. Wai was secretly working with Hong Kong Police and discloses his uncle's wrong doing. When his uncle found out, it was a little too late.
