      Plot


      Leung Foon is a happy-go-lucky man with a girlfriend named Pizza. He is a police detective in the Happy Valley Police Station. He is tasked as a small-time undercover with his superior nicknamed "Thousand Faced Man". After their undercover case of protecting a millionaire's daughter nearly failed, Leung was tired of taking undercover work and even protested to quit the police force if he is not given a big-time case. Eventually "Thousand Faced" gave Leung the biggest task of bringing a big-time swindler named Ferrari to justice. If he succeeds, he will be rewarded with a promotion, despite Leung failing his "preparedness test".
      Leung first starts the investigation by doing what he does best, going undercover as a "invited guest" heading towards Ferrari's beach. As he arrived on the shore, he met First Love, a con-woman in disguise of a sweet, cool girl and asking for her phone number (she typed a vulgarity on his mobile phone). After one of Ferrari's henchmen, Fat Pig splashed on Leung at the beach, he was taken to Ferrari's mansion to become one of his security guards.
      After Leung realized he was tricked by Ferrari and one of his con-women, First Love along with losing his job after Ferrari encrypted all his server's data with a computer virus. He knew what was going on when Leung tried to burn a CD with some data from one of his computers to take as evidence. Leung was forced to approach Pizza's brother-in-law Master Wong, a gifted conman whom he and Pizza met in Macau (and hated by Leung) to learn his skills and become a conman with a vengeance.
