About the Film

Joseph Wong (Michael Hui), the kingpin of the Manix Private Detective Agency, a firm believer in tact and thrift. By tact, he means you can cheat all the people all the time and corners are there to be cut. By thrift, he means an underpaid staff is happy and grateful staff. By chance, he employs Lee Kwok Kit (Samuel Hui). Together, they have solved lots of wired cases.

One day, while the two are investigating a blackmail case, the movie goes off and the lights come on. Scores of gun-toting hoods hold the more than 1,000 goers as hostages. On the stage Uncle Gaw (Shek Kin) threatens that it is a hold-up!

Under such circumstance, what could the smart private eyes do?
