Summary: A Dry Run for 'Lucky Stars'
Similar in style to the Lucky Stars films from later in the 80s. sammo and Frankie Chan play two thieves under the auspices of a Fagin-like master thief. He double-crosses the pair over a cache of diamonds. The two later must fight their way off a cruise ship, with Sammo going one-on-one with Dick Wei in a very violent conclusion. Largely unmemorable, even in the action department, except for an intriguing opening showing the two thieves' techniques, and an overall pessimistic tone.
