Plot summary
Ricky and Muscles are Hong Kong police officers sent to Tokyo to bring back a corrupt former colleague who fled there with a fortune in diamonds and took shelter with a mob whose headquarters sit beneath an amusement park. Ricky is seized during a fight, so Muscles goes into hiding and asks his supervisor to send the friends he grew up with in an orphanage, a group nicknamed the Five Lucky Stars. Petty criminals and low-paid workers, they want nothing to do with the job, until a false news report accuses them of a bank robbery worth millions and their supervisor pairs them with Swordflower, a rookie policewoman. The six fly to Tokyo, where Kidstuff and Swordflower set out for Muscles' apartment.
