Written by Chan and Edward Tang.The Royal Hong Kong Police Force is planning a major sting operation to apprehend crime lord Chu Tao (Chor Yuen). Inspector Chan Ka-Kui (or Kevin Chan in some versions) is part of the operation, along with undercover agents stationed in a Squatter neighborhood. However, the delinquents spot the policeman and following a car chase cut across the neighborhood on a hillside. KaKui persists in his pursuit, finally after walking away as the drug lord tries to escape on a doubledecker bus. Ka Kui manages to get in front of the bus and bring it to a close by threatening to shoot the driver with his revolver.

Ka-Kui is later reprimanded by Superintendent Li for letting the operation get out of hand, but he subsequently presented himself to the media as a model police officer. His next mission is to protect Chu Tao's secretary, Selina Fong (Brigitte Lin), who plans to testify in court about Chu Tao's illegal activities. At first, Selina insists that she doesn't need protection, but after Ka Kui has a fellow police officer break into her apartment and pose as a knife-wielding assassin, she becomes more cooperative.

When Ka-Kui arrives at his apartment with Selina, he is surprised by his girlfriend, May (Maggie Cheung) and her friends, who is throwing a birthday party for him, but May gets mad at KaKui after seeing Selina wearing only underwear and the Ka-Kui jacket. Ka-Kui later explains to May that Selina is a witness, but after much clumsiness and embarrassment, causing her to leave the scene, even though she goes to Chu Tao's trial the next day.

him for murder. Now a fugitive cop killer, Ka-Kui must try to catch Chu Tao and clear his name, taking his superintendent hostage in order to escape custody, though he soon lets his superiors go. free.

Ka-Kui and May are monitoring Chu Tao's activities. In the ensuing carnage, Ka-Kui defeats all of Chu Tao's minions (and destroys a good chunk of the mall). The briefcase containing the computer data falls to the floor of the mall, but Chu Tao retrieves it after attacking May. Ka-Kui, upstairs, slides down a pole wrapped in light bulbs to the ground floor and catches Chu, but the rest of the police force quickly arrives and prevents him from taking matters further into his own hands. . Selina attests that Danny Chu killed Inspector Man and the evidence of her crimes is in the briefcase.
