The film starts as Terry Sugury retrieves Go Owada in the middle of a violent strike in which bitter workers at the largest chemical manufacturing plant in the East are engaged in combat against a riot police squadron. After Terry receives what is believed to be payment for the tape, he discovers that he had been paid in newspapers. Outraged, Terry lashes out at the mobsters present and clashes with a young assistant district attorney named Huo Feng who is also after the tape.
