An important document, intended to serve as crucial evidence in court against a dangerous triad boss, disappears from the Hong Kong police, setting off a tense, time-crunched manhunt. The Special Duty Unit’s Sergeant Shek turns to the seasoned mercenary known as the Eagle Hunter to retrieve it, believing that only someone with his particular blend of skill and audacity can outsmart the criminals who stole it. In a daring break-in at the triad boss’s mansion, our protagonist battles his way through a stream of henchmen and uses a clever ruse to coax the boss into opening his own safe, where the stolen document lies hidden. The tension of the job gives way to an uneasy calm as the immediate danger eases, but the mission has only just begun.
