DIK is a young inspector. His superior has arranged for him a casting for the host of a programme called “Police Report”. He, however, prefers to join the frontier team. With his mother’s help, he succeeds in changing his post. Unfortunately, DIK cannot get on with his fellow officers KEI, CHEUNG, TAK and LOK. DIK has had some misunderstandings with PO, who is quite renowned in Temple Street, over which he still feels angry. DIK’s girlfriend, GRACE, finds it boring being with DIK anymore and splits up with him in front of everybody. YING has a long-lost son, ON, who DIK has no memory of at all. DIK leads his team for the first time on a mission, but is somehow carsick and throws up on the way. All his men laugh. PO, HEI, CHUN, FAI, LILY, WAI and NAM grew up in Temple Street together and are very good friends. They all treat PO as their leader. YING meets PO and thinks he is ON……

Yet DIK feels that he is excluded and that nobody obeys him. YING meets PO again at her restaurant and cannot help following him. PO falls over and without delay, YING runs up to help him.
