Synopsis
CID officer Lai Yat-tsau parents died early, leaving him to take care of his three younger sisters. First younger sister Lai Suk-chu is a prestigious kindergarten school superintendent who is kind but gullible. Middle younger sister Jil Lai Suk-si is a luxury brand salesperson. She is immature and money hungry. She originally dated Yat-tsau's partner Fai Chung-lim because he is a rich restaurant heir, but after years of dating she really fell-in-love with him and wants him to quit the police force because of the dangers that comes with the job, also for him to return to being a rich heir. Youngest sister Fanny Lai Suk-fan is rude and lazy, who refuses to find a job. She is also the only one in the family that is married. Her husband Ma Chi-chung works at the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, but his attitude is very similar to his wife and often mooches off of his in-laws.Lai Yat-tsau is a reckless cop who does major damages to the streets of Hong Kong when he is chasing crooks. His recklessness drags his partner Chung-lim down with him. Together the pair are nicknamed "Faw Sui" Sir and "Fai Chia" Sir because the two are tend to start a fire. When Yat-tsau's former informant Lui Kam-bo seeks his protection from his recently released older twin brother Lui Kam-dong, that Kam-bo had helped Yat-tsau put in prison. Yat-tsau trails Kam-dong's every move to make sure he doesn't kill Kam-bo. During a drug bust between Kam-dong and his former gang, Yat-tsau gets attacked by the gangs guard dog named Bah-da.
While recovering from a dog bit in the hospital he meets Ma Chi-ho, who is more concern for Bah-da then Yat-tsau's injuries. Chi-ho's political correctness and bluntness ends up offending Yat-tsau which leads to the two becoming enemies. Ma Chi-ho is a veterinarian for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Her love for animals overshadows her consideration for others and her blunt know it all attitude offends people she speaks to. Due to her love for dogs, she became estrange with her mother Madam Chung when her mother had her police dog overworked, leading to his death; Madam Chung is also Yat-tsau's new supervisor. Her younger brother who also happens to coincidentally be Yat-tsau's brother-in-law Chi-chung works alongside her, but he too can't stand her because she made him feel stupid when they were growing up.
To prevent Bah-da from being euthanized, Chi-ho must find a reason proving he is not a dangerous dog. When Bah-da sniff out an Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department employee with drugs on him, Chi-ho realizes that Bah-da knows how to detect illegal substances and recommends that Bah-da be trained as a police dog.
