Plot

Fred and Keith are childhood friends who dream of being triad members. As they become adults, they achieve their dream and join many different gangs. However, each time they join a new gang, the gang boss dies shortly afterwards. The two are considered jinxes and no gangs want to take them in. The two then depend on themselves to do business and get a prostitute from Singapore, Jane. Jane, however, believes she was supposed to be a model and the two of them do not have the courage to put her to work. Jane is also later found out to be a lesbian. Later, famous triad leader Kwan comes and takes Fred and Keith in to prove to people that he is invulnerable to their jinx. Under Kwan, the two manage to become triad heroes. However, later things go wrong and Kwan is turned against the two and they must strike back to protect themselves.
