Plot

Chui Pai (Pat Ha) was a dangerous killer who shot a woman during the night and lives with her daughter. She was hunted for many years and can'ts stop hiding. Hsiang Ming (Yuen Biao) was a cop who was poorly doing his job. His wife was killed in a restaurant and police accuses him for the charge of his wife's murder. Things become even more complicated for Hsiang as he discovers that she and he are now targets from detectives led by Superintendent Lui (Charlie Chin), seeking to cover evidence of their own drug crimes. Framed for murder, Hsiang’s options rapidly contract as the killers target his elderly mother and young daughter. Wounded, Hsiang is forced to rely on the assassin Pai, who slowly discovers warmth while caring for him and his young daughter. They have to stick together as long as they could until they die or sent to custody.
