The story of this film takes place in an ancient dynasty where the emperor is protected by 12 secret service agents named after the Chinese zodiac signs. Among them, Gao Tianjiu, played by Louis Koo and representing the sign "Dog", is also called "Lingling Dog". Obsessed with technology, he stubbornly believes that technology will always surpass kung fu. However, his inventions have caused more harm than good in several missions, making him out of place with the other detectives. Only his younger brother Lingling Tiger (played by Da Wei Tong) and his fiancée Mei Xiwang (played by Big S) support him wholeheartedly. But despite Mei Xiwang's deep affection for him, Lingling Dog remains indifferent to her feelings. At this time, Cao Gonggong, portrayed by Shaohuang Fan, has ambitious plans to kill the emperor and take his place. To do so, he must first eliminate Lingling Dog and his fellow secret service agents. Unexpectedly, Cao Gonggong's conspiracy is just the tip of the iceberg, and Lingling Dog will face even more powerful enemies. The seemingly calm palace is full of hidden dangers and imminent threats.
