An erstwhile student of the Cantonese language, Mr. Nigel French (John Williams) hopes to test out his linguistics skills on Marilyn (Lisa Fong), the daughter of a Chinese diplomat (Richard Loo). Unfortunately, Mr. French is not as conversant in Cantonese as he imagines himself to be, and accidentally insults the poor girl by telling her she has "the ears of a pig and the face of a demon"! His subsequent efforts to make amends succeed only in getting him deeper into trouble--and it's up to Marilyn's grandmother (May Lee) to re-establish "détente" between China and the U.S. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
