All the Wrong Clues for the Right Solution

All the Wrong Clues for the Right Solution (Chinese: 鬼馬智多星; pinyin: Gui ma zhi duo xing) is a 1981 Hong Kong comedy film directed and co-written by Tsui Hark.

Yoho is a down on his luck detective who find himself in trouble with the ganger Ah Capone who is planning to cheat elderly millionaires out of their stocks.

However, after some research, he concludes the felon is triad boss Ah Capone (Karl Maka) and the victim is private investigator Yoho (George Lam).

In order to protect Yoho, Inspector Robin arrests him on a trivial charge and locks him up at the police station.

He issues a death warrant for Yoho and sends henchman, Popeye (Eric Tsang) to act upon it.

However to his surprise, a mysterious woman (Yiu Wai) arrives to promptly pay the $5000 bail money upfront.

Yoho follows the mysterious woman to her house where he learns she is married to a rich, disabled old man, Yummy (Tang Kee-chan).

On his way, Yoho meets a young woman, Wai (Marylinn Wong) who helps him escape the henchmen.

During their conversation, Yoho receives a phone call from Inspector Robin who tells him that Yummy is in the hospital.

In an apparent betrayal, Yoho and Inspector Robin shoot each other while Yummy takes the opportunity to escape with his family and ransom.

After the boat takes off, Yoho and Inspector Robin get up unharmed and Yummy finds the random is actually worthless paper.
