Plot


The Nobody Kid (Lau Kar-wing) is a street urchin who was abandoned as a child and does not have a name. One day, he meets Sting (Dean Shek), a master con artist, who takes Nobody as his disciple and teaches him swindling and martial arts skills. The duo is later enlisted by Sting's brother, Baldy (Karl Maka), to murder Ping the Dreg (Chung Fat), a professional assassin. Sting and Nobody plan to take advantage of Ping's lust for woman and use Baldy's wife to seduce Ping. However, their plan fails and Ping kills Baldy's wife, while Sting and Nobody are separated as well. While alone, Nobody meets Koo the Iron Heart (Bryan Leung), an elderly martial arts master and Ping's rival, who also takes Nobody as his disciple and teaches him his skills. However, Koo is later killed by Ping. Nobody eventually reunites with Sting, and together, they confront Ping for vengeance.
