Two girls, one dream. Little Papaya and Big Papaya dream of becoming Getai singers. Coached by their seamstress Aunt Ling, the Papaya sisters struggle at first because they have no "feel" in their voices. As a last resort, they appeal to Aunt Ling’s estranged twin sister, the Goddess of Getai, for help. Through their hard work and Aunt Ling’s amazing costumes, the Papayas become the most popular sister act in town. They use their fame to help raise funds for their idol Chen Jin Lang, who is suffering from cancer. But they are soon devastated by the death of her. Like Chen, Little Papaya suffers from cancer and has little time left. Unknown to them, rival sister group "Durian Sisters" have become intensely jealous of the Papayas’ success, and are determined to trip them up by messing up their schedule. At a confrontation, the Durians challenge the Papayas to a showdown. Who will triumph?
