Plot

Like the first film, this film follows the fraternal bond of two inmates, once again Ching, but this time with "Boss Dragon", a boss of the "Black Rats" gang. Ching escapes the prison in order to see his son, Leung was placed in an orphanage after his mother died, and gets into trouble with Assassin's replacement, Officer Zau.

Ching escapes a second time to follow Boss Dragon after he lied about jumping off a cliff to escape.

Ching looked for his son and intended to bring him along,but was refused by the social worker.

He was later apprehended by the police and was brought back to prison. On the way, Officer Zau tortures Ching.

Ching gets thrown into the Mainland group prison cell and is beaten up by his cell mates,as they thought he was the one who betrayed Brother Dragon. Skull took a toothbrush, with a sharpened back and stabs Ching.

Ching then convinces Fireball Brother and the other cellmates to set a fire in the prison cell, so as to escape from prison.

In the event of a fire breakout, the prisoners assembles outside,but Ching yells and runs toward to the Hongkie group for help.

A fight then occurs between the Hongkie group and the Mainlanders, resulting in the arrival of more police wardens,who uses water jet sprays to control the situation, while Skull wents into hiding inside the canteen.

Ching followed Skull and a violent fight starts.

Officer Zau and his officers saw the fight and instead of breaking them up, Zau gives the order to lock them up, watching them fighting behind the gate. Skulls begs Officer Zau to open the gate but Zau refuses.

Skull self reproaches on his mistakes to Ching, and when Ching turns his back, Skull tries to stab Ching with a toothbrush again. Ching eventually knocks Skull down.

Officer Zau then opens up the gate,and tries to use his baton to hit Ching, but was stopped by a good officer. Unfortunately, the good officer gets knocked down by Zau's barbaric act.

Ching picks up the toothbrush and hides it, while officer zau approaches him.

A violent fight starts and Ching uses the toothbrush , and stabs directly to officer zau's left eye. Officer Zau screams in pain and engages in delirium.

Officer Zau collapsed on the floor,and Ching faints.

Ching awakes in a hospital bed, takes up his son report card and read.

His cellmate commented that his son "handwriting is not bad", also a message for his dad: Dad, don't be naughty in prison, Don't let me worry about you, remember... this sentence is meaningful, Tolerate, Tolerate, Tolerate... .

Ching was discharged from the hospital and was being brought back to his cell, an officer told him that he was lucky that an officer to stand witness for him about the fight.

A superintendent visit the cell and it is a coincidence that they met together when he escaped the prison for the first time. Ching requests the superintendent, when he visits the orphanage, to look out for his son.

As the ending credits roll, an officer says "Long time no see" to Ching, and it is believed to be Officer Scarface from Prison On Fire Part One, Ching self mutters ... about how unlucky he is.
