Synopsis
A young man (Bruce Li) unwittingly gets wrapped up in a money scam. He obtains a bag full of money, after which he is attacked by a group of thugs and a tall basketball player. When he refuses to give the cash back to the criminals, they kidnap his girlfriend and hold her hostage in the Tower Of Death. Once there, he is given two options.
