Plot
Mak Kwan (Francis Ng) is an expert in bombs and a highly wanted criminal. After killing off his partner, he is arrested by police officer Pao Wai Hung (Sean Lau), who is in deep guilt due to an accidental killing. Kwan's girlfriend/conspirator, Chung Lai-hung (Amanda Lee) informs the head of the gang that Mak is being held by the police. Since Taiwanese mafia leader Zang (Jack Kao) fears that Mak will reveal their plans, he nevertheless makes a promise to rescue Mak with his underlings and Chan Wah (Raymond Cho), Mak's cousin and another criminal. Knowing the mafia leader's plan, Pao prepares to takedown Mak once more. Although the mafia leader cannot get to Mak, they manage to kill Pao's subordinate Yung (Yung Kam-cheong).
