Plot

The story starts in a futuristic Manila, where 2 old men bicker against each other on their pasts. Samson (Vic Sotto) is Delilah's (Gina Pareño) son, while Tot (Jose Manalo) is a helper on the house that is a spoiled brat, much to Samson's anger. Back in time....

Tot usually sets him up on blind dates, with disastrous results, starting with a fat woman. He chains Tot and regularly threatens him with a hammer if he doesn't kiss the dog in front of him. Then when Delilah contracts a disease, which only Tot has the same blood type with her, Samson was forced again to go with the helper's scheme. He was set up again by Tot, using his face on the chat and online dating site. Angry, Samson chains Tot once again, forcing the latter to act like a dog.

Bunny (Manilyn Reynes), a regular in the dating site, uses her Thai cousin Paula's (Paula Taylor) picture to get known, which the latter consented. When the time for the eyeball, the real ones shocked when their proxies met, leading for Tot and Bunny to be jealous on their respective proxies and Tot to cast a curse that Delilah told him about, switching their personalities in 3 hours cycle, without cure to dispel the curse. Cursed, Tot got Samson's body, doing debauchery while in Samson's body, while Samson, trapped in Tot's body could do nothing but curse him.

Until one day, Samson tried to explain what happened, when Tot kisses her (using Samson's body), much to the former's anger and the girl walks out in sadness and anger. Tot is once again chained in the water tank, only released when he promised that he will tell the truth. They told the truth about the curse and they are reconciled, only for the curse to activate again. Don Pedro returns the land title he bought from Delilah's husband, whom he hated so much, proving his love for Delilah outbalances his hatred for Delilah's husband.

Back in the present, Tot and Samson swapped bodies again, the latter chasing the former out with a crutch as a weapon.

Once learned, the Philistines cut his hair while he sleeps, at which point he is easily defeated.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Samson (opera)</span>

Samson was an opera by the French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau with a libretto by Voltaire. The work was never staged due to censorship, although Voltaire later printed his text. Rameau intended the opera on the theme of Samson and Delilah as the successor to his debut Hippolyte et Aricie, which premiered in October 1733. Like Hippolyte, Samson was a tragédie en musique in five acts and a prologue. Voltaire had become a great admirer of Rameau's music after seeing Hippolyte and suggested a collaboration with the composer in November 1733. The opera was complete by late summer 1734 and went into rehearsal. However, a work on a religious subject with a libretto by such a notorious critic of the Church was bound to run into controversy and Samson was banned. An attempt to revive the project in a new version in 1736 also failed. The score is lost, although Rameau recycled some of the music from Samson in his later operas.
