A Chinese dancer becomes a hit and run victim.
Contains one of those terrible musical performances courtesy of Walker and band, the only glimmer of hope being a nice slide guitar. There are several brilliant scenes, including one in which Ho assesses the scene of the crime, and another in which Berwick comes under (verbal) fire from his own men (one of them being Ho).
