Things take a turn for the worse when Tua Kee makes Kang do menial construction work, makes King Kong and Ah Goon supervise Kang’s work and starts treating Kang the way he used to in the past – with rudeness, insults and smacks to the head.

It will soon be ‘PCK Pte Ltd – Construction & KTV’.

However, they don’t have enough cash to make the purchase alone. They enlist the help of Kang’s old friend, Kok Peng, and a successful charming businesswoman – Candy Chew. Candy is an ex-hostess who now runs a Property and Lingerie conglomerate. Things start looking up as the deal is put to paper. But disaster strikes when the Phuas discover Candy has played them out and intends to demolish the Watermelon lounge and build a Spanish restaurant for higher profits.

Rosie refuses to accept the fact and soon, she and Chu Kang have barricaded and cuffed themselves to the lounge premises as the bulldozers approach…
