Synopsis

The loosely connected stories of a pair of Hong Kong cops who are dumped by their girlfriends. In the first segment, a young cop, known only by his badge number (#223) and on the rebound from a love affair, encounters a glamorous nameless woman in a blonde wig, sunglasses and Chanel raincoat who is tracking down a group of smugglers from Chungking House. In the second part, police officer #663 gets closer and closer to Faye, a counter-person at the local fast food joint Midnight Express.
