Ghetto Justice

A police officer wrongly accuses LAI MUK-GAN of letting his dog foul in public places. LAW LIK-AH, his neighbor who is a barrister, goes up to his help. But because of AH’s unkempt appearance, the police officer refuses to believe that he is a lawyer. AH leaves in no time while getting an emergency call from a social worker, TING KA-FU. A group of tenants is faced with a drastic rent increase. KA-FU reasons with their new landlord. The police officer requests AH to prove his identity as a barrister. GEORGE MIKE JR., who is also a working barrister, arrives in a limousine and explains to the police officer for AH. KA-FU takes the tenants to the Civil Legal Center. They appoint AH to negotiate with their new landlord. WONG SZ-FU appears in court with her assistant CHEUNG CHI-SUM. Renowned barrister TSEUNG PAK-KEI also has a case today. SZ-FU tries her best to let his case be heard first. It is SZ-FU’s wish to join KEI’s law firm……

SUM and SZ-FU chill out at a bar. SUM thinks AH is as outstanding as he was in his prime, yet SZ-FU does not think so. AH is chatting with his neighbors when a woman falls from a building. GAN claims he has killed the woman. HA and GEORGE accompany him to the police station. GAN says when he is giving a statement that he killed SHEUNG CHAU-PING as requested by MA CHEUK YEE-TAK, the wife of his boss. After visiting PING’s younger brother, CHUN-SANG, at his shop, AH and GEROGE conclude that the case is not as simple as it seems. TAK is surrounded by reporters. SZ-FU appears suddenly and reprimands the reporters. TAK is very grateful to her help and decides to hire SZ-FU as her representing lawyer. KAN is being kept in a detention center. AH and GEORGE visit him. AH is puzzled why GAN has to defend TAK. KING quarrels with her neighbors, who are of the view that SZ-FU should not help TAK.

GAN has failed to show up at court as a witness. SZ-FU teases at AH. SZ-FU learns from SANG’s testimony that PING shares a similar background to her. Judged by her facial expression, AH can see that SZ-FU sympathizes with PING. AH, GEORGE and KA-FU are adjusting the Civil Legal Center’s antenna on his roof. CHIK shows up and tells them AUNTIE GAN, GAN’s wife, is recuperating at a private hospital. AH and KA-FU intend to sneak AUNTIE GAN out. Although GEROGE strongly opposes to their idea, he does not tell CHIK their plan. AH manages to sneak AUNTIE GAN out. SZ-FU is not happy that TAK has been hiding AUNTIE GAN from her. On the other hand however, she takes AUNTIE GAN to a public hospital. AUNTIE GAN has woken up. She tells GAN to tell the truth when she visits him.

Barrister LAW LIK-AH was put in jail for obstruction of justice. On his day of release, his good friends TING KA-FU and GEORGE MIKE JR. wait for him outside the prison but they cannot see him after a long time. LIK-AH’s girlfriend WONG SZ-FU is not able to pick him up for she needs to fight for the poor in the court. SZ-FU rushes to LIK-AH’s home after work and they kiss each other passionately in front of everybody. LIK-AH carries SZ-FU to his room but they discover LEUNG PAU-SING sleeping inside. SZ-FU and Auntie KING find a group of neighbors queuing up for Uncle YEUNG’s egg puffs on the street. SZ-FU asks everybody to look for her if they have any legal problems. SZ-FU, KA-FU and GEORGE find LIK-AH doing nothing all day. They question LIK-AH if he still wants to be a barrister. LIK-AH reveals that it is very difficult to get his license back and he prefers to be a legal advisor instead……

In order to help Uncle KOO, LIK-AH returns to the High Court again and other barristers humiliate him. CHIN-SHEUNG invites CHUN-NEI to be his defense counsel and CHUN-NEI predominates over SZ-FU with her eloquent speech. CHUN-NEI even requests SZ-FU’s side to make compensation to CHIN-SHEUNG for he has become impotent after the injury. LIK-AH forgets that he is no longer a barrister and he tries to speak for Uncle KOO but the judge warns him to stop angrily. LIK-AH is very upset and he decides to resume his license. LIK-AH goes to the kennel of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department to visit CHIN-SHEUNG’s wolf dog. LIK-AH and KA-FU persuade CHIN-SHEUNG’s gardener to be their witness. Based on their conversation with the gardener, LIK-AH believes that CHIN-SHEUNG has given special training to the wolf dog before……

CHIN-SHEUNG cries in the court while telling everybody that his wife wants to divorce him because of his impotency. LIK-AH and KA-FU follow him secretly. They discover CHIN-SHEUNG chatting up an attractive masseuse SUM-SUM on the street. LIK-AH tries to check out the background of SUM-SUM from FUNG and the other prostitutes for he wants SUM-SUM to help proving that CHIN-SHEUNG was telling lies. Uncle KOO’s case is finally over and KA-FU invites LIK-AH to watch football match at home. LIK-AH tries to ask for permission from SZ-FU. KA-FU and the others tease him and they think that LIK-AH is not as important as her work in SZ-FU’s mind. With SZ-FU’s help, LING-LEI opens the clinic eventually. SZ-FU asks LING-LEI to help giving body check to prostitutes in the district and LING-LEI agrees immediately. KA-FU encourages SUM-SUM to do the body check and SUM-SUM slaps him on his face……
