Plot
Wai (
Tetsuya is the leader of Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi gang and Lee's business partner in Hong Kong and always had pleasant cooperation with Lee. After Tetsuya dies, his son Kuyama (Ken Lo) inherits his position. Kuyama, who is reckless, arrogant and greedy, hopes to use financial power to strike down Lee. In order to prevent his followers from being ruined for life, Lee was forced to deploy cash from his own company to purchase Kuyama's stock rights. Tung (Dick Wei) was Lee's sworn brother in the past who secretly used public funds of the company to run a smuggling business in China. However, his smuggling business was a failure where he went broke and attempts to flee when he was unable to give an explanation to Lee. In order to reduce the outrage of other sworn brothers, Lee wounded Tung's leg with a gunshot.
Amy (Yukari Oshima), Lee's only daughter, returns after studying abroad in Japan. Discontented with Kuyama's actions, Amy confronts him where she injures his face. Holding a grudge, Kuyama conspires with Tung to murder Lee. After Lee died, Wai and Amy investigates into it and find out that Lee was murdered by Kuyama and Tung and were determined to seek revenge. After repeated struggles, Wai and Amy finally eliminates the enemy and traitor together.
