[1][2][3] Five men try to enter Hong Kong surreptitiously, meeting their leader there, to rob a jewellery store.

Police investigating another robbery attempt at the same store spot their car acting suspiciously while they are casing it and give chase, with the robbers only escaping by opening fire and stealing a taxi.

The target turns out to be a policeman and they have to carry out the robbery while hiding from the police searching for them.
