In a story that will remind many of The Naked Gun, LK (Miriam Yeung) is assigned to special undercover duty to get the goods on a triad leader’s son (Daniel Wu).  LK is put into a series of dangerous and romantic situations filled with wacky slapstick. From microphones hidden in ketchup bottles and cameras in tea pots, to the force's most suave cop (Raymond Wong) posing as LK's pimp and a senior officer (Hui Siu-hung) being mistaken for her father, the picture provides laughs within a scenario that is more than just a scattered collection of gags.
