乔伊是学校里公认的校花,她拥有着美丽的面孔和优越的身世,毫无疑问每日生活在幸福之中。然而某一日,这位集万千宠爱于一身的可爱姑娘却在社交网络上留下了“我想死”的绝望信息。阿信是乔伊的男友,两人之间感情十分要好,看到女友闷闷不乐的样子,阿信决定同好友阿敢一起,带着乔伊和她的闺蜜小敏前往海边度假。
众人本以为,这会是一场充满了疯狂和欢乐的旅程,然而,乔伊的惨死却为这场派对蒙上了惊悚恐怖的阴影。余下的三人受到了不小的惊吓,他们决定隐瞒整个死亡事件,希望生活能够就此回归平静。不过显现,乔伊的冤魂并不愿意放过他们。。山田日後承認在開拍此片之前,已心諳渥美清的肺病步入末期,決定此章為最後一章,並安排由淺丘瑠璃子演的莉莉送寅次郎踏上人生的最後一程。分別15年後,兩人於如詩如畫的奄美大島重逢,感情依舊,鬥氣繼續,沒完沒了似的。正如山田所想,雖然系列必須完結,但始終不想為寅次郎的故事/人生劃上句號。結局如常開放,代表寅一直繼續他的旅程,日本人依然有夢。
公映後翌年,渥美清病逝,享年68歲,本片亦成為他的遺作。
Yamada knew before production began that Atsumi's health has deteriorated to such an extent that Tora-san to the Rescue would be the last film in the series. He decided to let Lily accompany Tora on his last trip. The lovers reunite after fifteen years in the picturesque Amami O Shima, and the affections as well as the bickering remain. Although the series must come to its conclusion, Yamada has deliberately left the film's ending open, so as not to let the curtain fall on "Tora-san". Atsumi Kiyosh passed away at the age of 68 in the year following the film's release, making this film his last.。
