To regular Simon Yam is Kei, the leader of a gang of pickpockets who each cross paths with Chun Lei (Kelly Lin), seeking to escape the clutches of Mr. Fu (Lo Hoi-pang), a crime boss who keeps her on a tight tether, with a large group of henchmen who shadow her every movement. Chun Lei, making full use of her serial seduction, manages to unwittingly enlist each of the pickpockets separately in her unsuccessful attempts to elude her benefactor/lover/captor. However, they are all discovered and severely beaten by Mr. Fu's men. After he learns the truth behind Chun Lei's deception, Kei enlists his criminal cohorts into a showdown with Mr. Fu to battle for Chun Lei's freedom. (official distributor synopsis)
