Synopsis

The film revolves around a little boy who has leukemia and is waiting for a marrow transplant. While back in Taiwan, it concentrates on the story of a doctor, Kao Chi-yuen (Richie Jen) and a nurse, Suen Yan-yan (Ruby Lin), who is his girlfriend. Chi-yuen is a young doctor who stands for justice and does the best he can to help his patients.

They cannot find a willing bone marrow donor. They seek help from a prisoner, Ng Sung-yung (Blackie Ko). Ng is convinced to become a bone marrow donor for the little boy. The marrow must be transferred from Taiwan to Beijing in 24 hours, but an earthquake causes a power cut and also damages a bridge on the way to the airport. The car has to fly across the gap.

Luckily, they make it in time for the airplane. At the airport, Yan-yan accepts Chi-yuen's marriage proposal. The transplant operation is successful.
