Jones Bon is a famous action film star who specialized in playing the role of a superhero like James Bond. But he was as timid as a mouse in real life. His cowardice caused his wife, Isabel, to divorce him leaving him as a single parent to take care of his two lovely daughters, Cream and Crispy. Isabel returned to Hong Kong to shoot a blockbuster with Jones. Interpol agent Titman followed the mad scientist Dr. Donno to Lungyi's hideout where the latter manufactured an Intelligence Degeneration Virus. When Titman seized the container of the Intelligence Degeneration Virus and attempted to arrest them, a gunfight broke out. The container was hit by a bullet and the Intelligence Degeneration Virus leaked out. Titman was infected by the virus, but he still escaped with the Ultra-SARS Virus.
The film grossed HK$5,429,623 at the Hong Kong box office during its theatrical run from 23 October to 19 November 2003 in Hong Kong.
