Plot
Liu Jiuan, a Chinese agent, is assigned to Paris to help apprehend a Chinese gangster involved in Heroin smuggling. However, Liu is just a scapegoat for Jeanne-Pierre Richard, a violent French police officer who brutally kills the gangster, framing Liu for murder in the process.
Liu keeps a low profile while trying to escape, and he meets up with Jessica, an American woman who was forced into prostitution by Richard. Jessica is able to prove Liu's innocence, but Richard anticipates this and kidnaps Jessica's young daughter. With no other choice, Liu launches a counterattack on his pursuers, and combats them in an attempt to clear his name.
