The plot involves the kidnapping of a newborn baby by a group of men who are hired by a triad boss to deliver the baby to him for HK$7 million. The three men, Thongs, Octopus and the Landlord, take care of the baby for a short time, developing strong bonds with him. Thongs and Octopus are almost forced to surrender the baby when they are threatened to death by the Triad boss, who insists the baby is only proven to be his grandson by the blood sample from the baby’s arm.
They eventually hand over the baby and the money to the triad, who meet them with the rest of the money at the boss’ mansion where the baby reluctantly leaves them for the Triads’ amusement park. The Triads are enraged by the non-delivery of his “grandson” and send his men to retrieve the baby, but Thongs almost manages to escape with the baby but is almost killed in the process. The triads and the police are after the baby; the trio are eventually forced to hand the baby over to the police and hand the money back to the trio.
