| Synopsis |
Fong Ching-wah assumes the alias of Annie Yuen and works with the police in investigating the homicide of her father Sau-nin, a jeweller. Befriending Lee Yau-sam, the adoptive son of gangster Lee Tin-fung, Ching-wah not only wins his trust but also his affection. Ching-wah, mistaken for the goddaughter of the dubious jewel dealer Chan Tsi-yuen, sets up a deal between the father and son and her confidant, an impostor of Chan, Ching Wai-sang. But Tin-fung's plan for a murder-for-money is foiled by his son who places a discreet call with the police. Lending the gangster a hand to break the siege, Ching-wah impresses Tin-fung and is quickly taken into his confidence. Spurred by suspicion of Tin-fung's secret desire for Ching-wah, Yau-sam unmasks his adoptive father as Sau-nin's murderer, which fuels the seasoned criminal's rage to kill. The police trail Tin-fung's assistant Poon Oi-lun to the criminal lair and place the murderer in handcuffs before any harm can be done. Yau-sam resolves to leave behind his criminal past and lead a simple life. (Synopsis based on visual materials)
