Summons to Death - Tang Ching (1967) - Port Shelter, Sai Kung

Back to the late 60s and another Tang Ching film, Summons to Death, where he plays a very similar character to the 009 he played in Inter-Pol the same year. In this film he is some sort of secret agent who inadvertantly gets involved in the hunt for a treasure map when he is approached in a night club by Mei-Li (Tina Chin Fei) in a case of mistaken identity. This one is written a directed by Lo Wei who also makes a briefish appearance as the leader of a group of pirates who come across half of a treasure map. He is captured by the police and entrusts his old pirate buddies to track down his long lost sister (Chin Fei) and get her to find the other half of the map.

The film starts with the origin of the map - the property of another gang of pirates who live on a rather extravagantly pimped out fishing junk. The pirate leader's girlfriend double crosses him and makes off with half of the map with her boyfriend just before Lo Wei and his gang arrive and find the other half.

The pimped out junk is afloat in the middle of Port Shelter in Sai Kung.
