Synopsis by Jonathan Crow

(Max Mok Siu-chung stars in this action comedy as Chung, a two-bit hustler who at the film's outset blackmails a notorious loan shark named Chiu (Shing Fui-on) who was trying to shakedown his buddy Peter (Chin Kar-lok). Later, Chung encounters and immediately falls for Baby (Fennie Yuen Kit-ying), a spoiled rich girl posing as a hostess in a seedy club. When Chung saves her from the unwanted advances of a couple gangsters, she falls for him. When Chung manages to eventually win over Baby's dubious father, everything looks rosy for the couple until Chiu busts out of prison and takes Baby hostage, setting the stage for the climactic showdown.
