They set a trap along a winding mountain highway, taking up hidden positions throughout a rickety village of old tin and wood shacks. When their trap is sprung too soon, the mobsters try to escape by driving through, and I mean through the village, smashing into, over and through the buildings. Kevin Chan follows them in a car of his own. On the highway, just minutes after the building-smashing, the mobsters hijack a double-decker buss, Kevin grab an umbrella, runs after the buss, leaps and hook the umbrellas handle onto the rim of an open window!

Somehow he managed to survive with a collection of ugly bruises... and second-degree burns on the skin of his fingers and palms.
