To music - and sometimes the song �One Step Ahead of My Shadow� - we see various scenes of a China imagined by 1930�s U.S. stereotyping. We�re in what may be Shanghai, with rickshaws and other cultural touchstones. A young man steers his small boat down a river to visit his sweetheart, to whom he sings. A large man, who�s well-to-do, seems to cheat his rickshaw driver who takes him to the same house where the kids are courting. A dragon interrupts the fun, the damsel is in distress, and fireworks may follow.
