Plot

After assaulting his tactical commander during a raid gone sour, a dedicated but temperamental cop Sergeant Bill Chu is transferred to the Emergency Unit, long considered to be the police force's dumping ground for problem cops. Together with his fellow EU patrol officers, Bill continues to fight crime and stops the Professor's attempt to smuggle confiscated money which he managed to retrieve from Interpol HQ out of Hong Kong via the British air base.
