This action-comedy movie in the style of Lethal Weapon is about a lazy police veteran Francis Li and his eager beaver rookie partner Michael Tso. The wacky pair of mismatched partners are assigned to investigate the murder of a heroin trafficker "Poison Snake" Ping who was known to be associated with crime boss Johnny Law. The duo interrogate comely bar girl Marydonna who is the sister of "Poison Snake" Ping, one of Law's associates. Marydonna eventually caves in to the intense pressure and fingers Law. Though the criminal soon winds up in jail and Li gets his long overdue promotion, Law is all out for revenge. Gun fights, explosions, and a wild and muddled duel with chainsaws ensues.
