This is Jackie Chan's homage to Hollywood films of the thirties and fourties. Set at that time the story concerns a traveller who through a misunderstanding becomes the local crime boss and starts to clean up his gangs act.
This is more of an exercise in film making than an action film. The comedy is hit and miss, and even though there are the usual stunt and fight sequences, they are pretty well spread out in favour of the story. This is not one of my personal favourite from Jackie Chan, but it is worth a watch.
