Fary informs the French authorities, who declare themselves unable to help him out. Meanwhile, Fary's daughter, Louise, is abducted. A Chinese detective, Tchao Tchun, is then called upon, to try to rescue the jewel and the girl before something untowards happens to them.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yuen Biao was only 16 here, three years before his breakout in The Prodigal Son. You can barely spot him as 'Street thug.'
This is one of the earliest Hong Kong-French co-productions, trying to cash in on both Bruce Lee fever and European crime cinema. It satisfied neither audience.
