Young Cao Le (Jackie Chan) is having a bad day. After learning that a band of "Killer Bee" bandits, led by an enigmatic, scarred woman, Chin Chang Yin (Feng Hsu) is coming to lay waste to the Le household, he cruelly forces his pregnant girlfriend, Chin Chien to flee. In the ensuing battle, his father, mother, and all other members of the family are killed except for Cao Le, curiously spared by Chin Chang Yin. Cao Le then begins his quest to find his true love, Chin Chien, whose fortunes are complicated by her guardian, Chin Chin, once Cao Le's best friend but now his own man. Matters are further confused when Cao Le is saved and befriended by the Dragon Trading Company, whose retinue is chasing Chin Chin in order to recover a priceless article that he stole from a Company expedition. As Cao Le struggles to find Chin Chien, he is also stalked by Chin Chang Yin, whose tormenting of Cao Le is matched by her own odd obsession with him. As Cao Le ends his quest, he finds that things are not always as they seem, and people can suddenly turn into strangers in the blink of an eye.
