Sha Gen ( Wang Baoqiang), a naïve village boy working as construction worker in Tibet, was returning home to get married. Refusing to believe that thieves exist in the world, Sha Gen insists on carrying his five years of savings worth ¥60,000 with him rather than use remittance. Sha Gen also brazenly shouts his earnings in a crowded street. As such, he has attracted the attention of Wang Bo (Andy Lau) and Wang Li (Rene Liu), who are lovers as well as highly skilled professional thieves. Wang Bo wants to steal the money as a last hit to end their career, but Wang Li, pregnant with their child and moved by Sha Gen’s innocence, decides to protect the boy.
The situation is further complicated when a small gang of thieves led by Uncle Li (Ge You), boards the train. . Uncle Li instructs his followers, Xiao Ye (Li Bingbing) and Four-Eyes (Gordon Lam) to refrain from doing a job on the train.
While the two sides tussle, Uncle Li attempts to make off with Sha Gen’s money but is confronted by Wang Bo, who has finally promised to lend his help to Wang Li to protect Sha Gen’s innocence. Wang succeeds in retrieving the money and giving it back, he is seriously injured in the fray, and subsequently dies.
