Run Run Shaw is a film mogul who makes more than 60 feature films a year. His magic formula is not sin and sex, but blood and guts; sagas whose heroes and heroines perform implausible swordfights and back-somersaults to the tops of buildings. Whicker meets this Chinese wizard at his Hong Kong studios.

Whicker encounters the Boat People of Hong Kong, whose homes, shops, restaurants, brothels or "flower boats" are afloat: a fascinating fleet, from tiny sampans to proud ocean-going junks. It's a hazardous way of life, however, and the Boat People and their centuries-old customs are disappearing.

Following in the footsteps of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour, Whicker takes the Road to Bali - a remote, enchanting island just beyond reality. As he explores the undiscovered paradise that has been called "the morning of the world", Whicker asks whether Bali can escape the fate of other tropical islands and resist the onrush of tourism.
