87 minutes. 7 million dollars. 3 minutes to steal it. Six months to pretend you're broke.
A career criminal, Ah Sang, engineers a bank robbery to be carried out by a gang of recruited hoodlums led by himself. It takes only three minutes to complete the robbery of seven million dollars. A special police unit is then formed to investigate the case, and the chief inspector suspects Sang, and begins keeping him under surveillance. In order to stay undetected, each member is specifically ordered to not spend their share of the one million HKD from the heist for six months.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This emerged during Hong Kong's 1970s kung fu boom, when studios churned out gritty urban crime films alongside period martial arts epics, reflecting the colony's economic anxiety and working-class hustle.
Ng See-Yuen would later become a legendary producer, launching Jackie Chan's career with 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow' and 'Drunken Master' — this early heist film shows his knack for tight, kinetic action on tiny budgets.
