Foolhardy TIGER WONG (Chin Kar Lok) is annoyed with his mother LAU BING TAI (Gigi Wong) for consistently pressuring him to get married. He therefore snatches CHOW MAN BUN (Sammul Chan) who is in female disguise to be his bride and arranges for BUN to stay at his younger sister WONG SAU YING (Nancy Wu)’s chamber for the night. After this, TIGER has no choice but to marry YING to BUN while setting up strict rules to torture BUN in the house. Clever BUN makes use of the chivalrous woman MO SAM LEUNG (So Yuk Wa, Louisa) to control TIGER and misleads LEUNG that TIGER is her long lost rescuer. Using tricks to upset TIGER, he makes TIGER marry LEUNG. Since then, LEUNG tries every means to domesticate her husband and that almost drives him insane. BUN is relieved to escape from TIGER’s manipulation but he carelessly causes lots of troubles elsewhere… “A Bride for A Ride” brings you a modern perspective of this traditional tale and you’ll surely be surprised with its astonishing approach.

梅龍縣保長─王老虎,天生好武、有勇無謀,習慣用拳頭解決問題,但胸無城府、重情重義、一諾千金,是個典型武夫。然而俗語有云:唔做中、唔做保,唔做媒人三代好;「保長」這三煞位需要高度政治智慧,而老虎明顯缺乏交際手腕,所以經常跟村民發生磨擦,被界定為土豪惡霸一類。 城中傳來皇上徵婚令,要召閨女入宮選妃。老虎怕親妹秀英一去不復還,急於為她搶新郎。老虎急忙中搶了正在趕往赴考的周文賓回王府。豈料行禮前,徵婚令證實只屬誤傳。老虎其實嫌棄壞鬼書生睇得唔打得,即時將文賓趕走。文賓趕往科場應考,但考期已過,文賓惱恨老虎。 老虎最大願望是娶妻,可惜城中女子都避之則吉。適時蛟龍為患,民女施夢露父親被蛟龍所害,夢露聲言如有壯士替她報父仇、斬蛟龍,便委身下嫁。老虎為姻緣往斬蛟龍,卻遇上屠龍女俠─武三娘。文賓為了向老虎報復,義助三娘斬蛟龍。老虎娶妻不成,遷怒於文賓,二人仇怨加深。 文賓雖跟老虎結怨,但卻跟秀英一見鍾情。文賓扮鬼扮馬入王府偷見秀英,卻被老虎識穿,並實行棒打鴛鴦。文賓飽受相思之苦,三娘感同身受,說出自己多年來一直苦苦追尋兒時曾救自己一命的意中人。文賓心知自己便是當日救三娘的人,大吃一驚。文賓為避開三娘,男扮女裝,遇上老虎,被老虎搶回王府逼婚。 老虎把文賓安置在秀英房過了一晚,另早才知自己擺了烏龍,為保秀英名節,唯有讓文賓與秀英訂親,待文賓三年後高中便正式成親。老虎招文賓住進王家西廂,監督文賓讀書之餘,又經常借意折辱文賓。文賓人在屋簷下,只得強忍。 文賓念及未來三年日子實在難捱,想到三娘一心尋夫,而三娘跟老虎武藝勢均力敵,遂希望借三娘之力制衡老虎。文賓欺騙三娘,說老虎便是她當年的救命恩人,又設局令老虎再次搶親,搶了三娘作妻子。從此,王家形勢逆轉,文賓利用三娘進行馴悍記,令王老虎苦不堪言。 朝廷突開恩科讓士子提前考科舉,文賓開心可提早脫離老虎虎爪。秀英多愁善感,想到風流才子多艷史,文賓亦不例外,擔心他高中後會變陳世美。老虎愛妹情切,使計令文賓被革去秀才功名,終生失去考生資格。文賓痛恨老虎之餘,不欲一生留在王府仰老虎鼻息做人,毅然退婚,離開王家。 文賓落泊潦倒,命不該絶,遇上正在「遊龍戲鳳」的正德皇朱厚照。文賓抓緊良機,發揮其竊玉偷香的本領,幫皇上追求心儀女子,但皇上一向慣於手到拿來,很快便失耐性,想強搶鳳姐。文賓頓時失措,向三娘求助,卻被老虎得悉此事。老虎大怒,認為天子犯法與庶民同罪,竟往打皇上。皇上被打暈,三娘趕到拉走老虎。皇上醒後,鳳姐以為皇上是為保護自己而受傷,對皇上投懷送抱。皇上捉錯用神,以為此乃文賓苦肉計,大讚文賓。文賓心想是老虎毁自己仕途在先,遂冒領老虎功勞。 文賓得正德封官,重回王家向秀英提親,對老虎意氣風發,得勢不饒人。就在文賓洋洋得意之際,寧王作亂,正德命文賓領軍抗賊。文賓上到戰場,竟然見血便暈。秀英求老虎救文賓。老虎一夫當關,一顯威風,三娘見到亦為老虎感到自豪。加上老虎當日為正義膽敢冒犯聖駕,三娘佩服老虎確是不畏強權的真英雄,對老虎已生出真感情來。然而三娘師傅此時突然出現,要三娘倒戈相向,助寧王成大事。師命難違,三娘唯有出賣軍情,結果令文賓和老虎陷入困局,到底最後文賓與老虎能否解決困難?三娘與老虎夫妻又能否團圓?
