Ah Sing (Roy Chiao) is a rough‑around‑the‑edges garage mechanic with swagger and many tricks up his sleeve. Gayle (Rowena Cortes) is a popular young recording artist, an orphan managed by Harry. Their worlds collide when Gayle brings her car to Ah Sing’s shop; during a chase Harry is dragged off. Five thugs intercept the car, kidnap Gayle to a farmhouse, and reveal that her long‑absent father and the thugs were former robbery partners. The father escaped with the loot while the thugs were caught and now demand the money they served time for.
