Plot
After Interpol destroys a mass of opium fields, the drug lords strike back by viciously murdering the officers in charge of the drug raid. In response, the cops call the shadowy Angel Organization who send their crack agents -- Saijo (Hideki Saijo), Moon (Moon Lee) and Elaine (Elanie Lui). Their first act is to seize a massive drug shipment with the help of an American DEA agent (Alex Fong). This inevitably invokes the rage of frighteningly fierce Madam Yeung (Yukari Oshima) who recently grabbed the mantel of power after killing her predecessor. After a series of tussles with Madam Yeung, Saijo finds herself buried alive in an armored car while Moon and Elaine settle their score with their nemesis kung fu style.
