The film is essentially two or three martial arts films edited together to appear as one, although this is unconfirmed. The majority of the film's running time depicts a man attempting to escape his criminal past only to be drawn into an organized crime war over a stolen diamond. A substantial subplot deals with a Caucasian insurance investigator in Hong Kong hired to apparently track down the same diamond. Another plotline concerns a family of ninja attempting to break in to an old thief's house.
