Lam and Buffalo respond to Sweet Dream's report of a murder on a boat owned by the cocaine dealer Fai, but cannot find any body, which has been thrown into the sea.

Sweet Dream, now in possession of the dead man's valuable ring used as identification in drug deals, seeks protection from Buffalo by inviting him to stay in her apartment with her and her roommate Meng.

Sweet Dream eventually swallows the ring, so Fai's men are forced to bring her along to a warehouse for their planned cocaine deal, but Buffalo and Lam fight off her attackers and hold them for arrest by the arriving police.

[1] Multiple reviewers and writers have commented on Conan Lee "nearly killing himself in an insane stunt in Tiger on the Beat II.

I wanted to jump and land on the arm of the lamppost, then slide down 1/3 of the way and push off leaping onto an on traffic car in the farthest lane.

"[6]The injury postponed production and limited Conan Lee's ability to participate in other action scenes of the film.

"[9] Reviewer Andrew Saroch of fareastfilms.com gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, calling it a "vastly inferior sequel to the smash hit Chow Yun Fat vehicle".

"[3] A review by Sean Gilman for The Chinese Cinema reads, "Bears no actual relation to the first Tiger on the Beat, which found Lau Kar-leung diving head-first into the world of contemporary cop actioners.

The fact that Conan also was seriously hurt during a stunt (very much visible in the movie) postponed production and limited his participation in terms of action.
