Episode 1 Senior Inspector of the Regional Crime Unit LAM TSI CHUNG is a young, outstanding member of the Police. He is so committed to his job that he never cares about his subordinates’ feelings. He does not believe in love but is most interested in one-night-stands. MO CHUN, a decent character in the Chinese masterpiece “Water Margin”, is always a hero in the eyes of Police Constable HA CHUN YAM. Under the influence of MO CHUN, YAM has always had a feeling of disgust for loose or sexy-looking women. Among those recommended by Superintendent CHUI WAI SUM, FAI MAN BUN, a very brilliant cadet, is chosen as CHUNG’s assistant while YAM is assigned to assist Senior Inspector K Y WONG. MAN FUNG LIN, the owner of Leung-Shan-Pok Pub, gets harassed because of her sexy outfit, during which YAM passes by and offers to get her out of the predicament.

K Y WONG needs YAM to infiltrate into PO’s gang and, for this reason, has arranged a series of training sessions for the lad. YAM realizes that he has changed a lot since he awoke from the coma. He keeps claiming that he is the reincarnated MO CHUN, which is just a big joke to K Y WONG.
