action
Hong Kong in the present. After an extremely brutal series of murders, the police are puzzled as the murderer leaves no traces on the scene. The mentally unstable policeman Tinam, who recently shot his own brother on a mission and has been impotent since then, suspects an unknown professional killer to be the perpetrator, even though his superiors do not share his theory.
One day Tinam happens to meet the punchy and slutty Kitty, whose unconventional manner immediately casts a spell over him. The two fall in love, but their happiness together does not last long. After Kitty's father is killed by the faithless stepmother's lover, the aggressive beauty avenges the death of her beloved parent. With the help of a mysterious woman who later pretends to be “Sister Cindy” and takes care of her, she escapes from the scene of the attack. Cindy is the ominous older professional murderer who hides the kitty wanted by the police, teaches her martial arts as well as the seduction of men and at the same time helps her to a new identity as a stewardess. Under the guidance of her experienced mentor, Kitty aka Vivian Shang kills potential rapists, mostly chauvinistic men, for money.
In the course of a police investigation, Tinam unexpectedly meets the hiding Kitty again, but she initially denies she is the wanted one. Tinam doesn't give up, however, and he eventually discovers Kitty's new identity. The old love sprouts. Meanwhile, Cindy's unprecedented series of murders does not go unpunished, she ends up on the hit list herself. The hired lesbian killer couple Princess with playmate Baby enters the scene. Princess, a former student of the men-hating sister Cindy, poisoned her former teacher a little later. Their wistful friend, Kitty, swears vengeance. In a bloody ending, Kitty seems to let herself be seduced by Princess in order to poison her opponent, which she succeeds. Thereupon Kitty herself wrestles with death. The present Tinam, who has meanwhile killed Princess' companion Baby, does not want to lose his great love and chooses suicide together with his kitty.
