Five Golden Dragons

The Five Golden Dragons decide to break up their secret syndicate after selling the enterprise to the Mafia for US$50 million. They fear each other’s greed over who gets what share. The group remains based in Hong Kong as they weigh their next moves.

The Dragons identify American playboy Bob Mitchell and the sisters Ingrid and Margret as likely targets. They plan to neutralize them while staying alert for betrayals within their own ranks. The pursuit signals the start of a deadly game across the city.

Commissioner Sanders and Inspector Chiao begin to piece together the murder plot surrounding the Dragons. Sanders struggles with recalling a Shakespeare quote, while Chiao corrects him, highlighting their tense dynamic. The investigation tightens as clues start pointing toward a larger conspiracy.

Margret sneaks into Mitchell's hotel suite and searches his papers, then reveals she knows his true identity as Doctor Mitchell. She confesses that, as a stewardess, she once worked for the Dragons but now fears for her life. The revelation heights the stakes for both sides.

In the morning, Chiao knocks on Mitchell's door to take him for questioning, only to discover Margret dead in bed, covered with a Dragons cape. The broken neck and the staged scene suggest she was silenced to protect the gang's secrets. The tragedy escalates the danger around Mitchell.

Mitchell learns of the Blue World nightclub and goes there to watch Magda perform. He becomes the focus of the club's shady manager Peterson, who keeps a wary watch on his movements. The glamorous venue becomes a nexus for deception and danger.

Magda spots Mitchell, sings to him, and leads him to her dressing room to help change outfits. She then locks the room and returns to perform another song, while the emcee introduces Miss Yukari Ito. The encounter deepens Mitchell's entanglement with the club's intrigues.

Mitchell escapes through a secret passage to Peterson's office and steals his briefcase, but is intercepted by Chiao's men and brought to Sanders's office. Ingrid is seen waiting outside, hinting at an ongoing kidnapping. The sequence fuses espionage with a high-stakes interrogation.

Four Dragons arrive in Hong Kong, and Chiao provides a quote that Sanders recognizes as Shakespearean. The scene reveals each member wearing a golden dragon head and possessing a key to a cabinet, with one Dragon later revealed as Christopher Lee. The cabinet becomes a focal point for the syndicate's power.

Ingrid is abducted, prompting Mitchell to clash with Sanders over whether to mount a rescue. Mitchell storms out in frustration as Sanders quotes Othello, signaling the mounting tension and the breakdown of trust within the investigation.

Gert tightens his hold on Ingrid while Ah Sing is also seized, tightening the Dragons' grip on their enemies. The kidnapping raises the stakes and pushes all parties toward a volatile showdown.

Ah Sing manages to break free from captivity and strangles Gert, delivering a decisive blow against the Dragons' pursuers. The act shifts the balance of power and accelerates the climactic confrontation.

Mitchell arrives at the climax disguised as the fifth dragon, but Magda's double-cross causes Peterson to switch places with him. A gun concealed inside the cabinet fatally fires, taking Peterson's life and inadvertently saving Mitchell. The annihilation of one key ally destabilizes the Dragons’ operation.

Sanders and Chiao arrive and arrest Mitchell, Ingrid, Magda, and the other conspirators, including Magda. The law finally closes in on the Dragons as the operation collapses around them. The criminals face the consequences of their schemes.

As a plane takes off, Sanders quotes from A Midsummer Night's Dream, hinting that their true struggle may only be beginning. Ingrid's future remains uncertain, and the film closes on a note of wary caution about loyalty and power. The final image lingers on the precarious balance of justice and crime.
