Introduction:
Italian celebrity chef Baggio and his partner Jack have become a hit on TV for their humorous performance of making spaghetti using Chinese hand-pulled noodle techniques. Reporter Diana secretly filmed a drug deal gone wrong, capturing the entire process of a negotiation breakdown between major drug lord Giancarlo and a local gang, leading to a violent shootout where the local gang leader was killed. Upon discovering this, Giancarlo immediately orders his men to retrieve the video tape. Diana flees for her life and is heroically rescued by Jack who happened to pass by. However, when Diana gets out of the car, she mistakenly takes the video tape of Baggio and Jack's cooking show, leaving her own behind in Jack's car. Jack's girlfriend Mitch arrives from Hong Kong, and Jack goes to the airport with his assistant Rakeisha to pick her up before heading to the mall for a live show with Baggio. Giancarlo's men find out that the tape is in Jack's possession, so they go to the mall and kidnap Rakeisha, forcing Jack to hand over the tape. The local gang, furious over the death of their leader, also secretly follows Giancarlo's men to the mall seeking revenge. Seeing the two groups approaching menacingly, Jack and Mitch escape from the mall. After narrowly escaping danger and returning home, they discover Rakeisha and Diana there, while both gangs of bandits soon arrive too. An intense struggle ensues between all parties over the retrieval of the video tape.
