When Things Get Tough
One will easily lose his way in dark when he is veiled by power and materials. When he is confronted with obstacles, he may even devote his intimate relatives. Lam Man Kong is a retired policeman. His former subordinates Wai Cho Ho and Ching Kwun have solved many cases with joint efforts. They regard one another as their brothers. However, both of them fall in love with Man Kong’s daughter Lam Ching.
