Plot
Although Chu Koo-lik (Chocolate) (Michael Hui) believes himself to have outstanding abilities, he has only reached the rank of Inspector despite working many years in the police force. Along with his cowardly assistant, Egg Tart (Ricky Hui), Chocolate is often occupied with nothing at the police station. One day, Chocolate's superior, Captain Wu (Roy Chiao), arranges his newcomer daughter, Kiu-kiu (Anita Mui) to work under Chocolate. However, Kiu-kiu and Chocolate dislike each other. Because Captain Wu deeply loves his daughter, he assigns simple cases to Chocolate, increasing Chocolate's dislike for Kiu-kiu.
Chocolate later receives a missing person case. Although he initially was uninterested, as the investigation goes on, the case suddenly took a dramatic turn, and full of mystery surrounds. Chocolate is determined to solve this case, with Kiu-kiu and Egg Tart under his wing.
