  • The storyline follows a basic rule for cash-in-transit personnel: if you encounter a problem, forfeit immediately! When cash-in-transit officers "Money" (played by Hins Cheung), "Zelly" (played by Hung Ka Ho), and "Pigsy" (played by Carl Ao Ieong) encounter diamond robbers, they surrender on the spot! But the spirited newbie "Penguin" (played by Jeffrey Ngai Tsun Sang) decides to bravely protect the customers' assets! In the chaos, Zelly, who was originally a mole among the robbers, runs off with the diamonds! The fleeing Zelly accidentally bursts into Grandpa's mansion, and his nightmare begins... The robbers take Pigsy hostage and force Money and Penguin to track down Zelly with Monk (played by Michael Ning). Despite their diverse personalities, Money, Penguin, and Monk are all summoned by fate - but what kind of chemistry would this cause? Tracking down the mansion, they are surprised to find that in this place deep in the mountains, there live a group of reclusive and eccentric villagers! The village leader, Auntie Wong (played by Ivana Wong), is defensive against outsiders, leading to several humorous showdowns between the city folk and the villagers! Worse yet, they encounter bizarre phenomena in the wild! After much effort, they can't locate Zelly or the diamonds, but they unexpectedly uncover the villagers' secret! In the end, what will become of Zelly's fate? What are the secrets hidden by the villagers? What awaits Money and his team, a path back to civilization or a bloodbath?
