Summary: In Hong Kong troops of No.1 and No.5 Army Commando patrol the streets.
Description: Two commandos patrol the waterfront. They board an apparently suspicious sailing junk and conduct a search before returning to the dockside. Two commandos on patrol; they pass a sign which reads 'Queen's Road Central'. They walk off towards a bustling and very busy street market. They pass street stalls. The commandos 'searching for illegal foodstuffs'. Two commandos standing on duty on Des Voeux Road (which is parallel to Queen's Road Central). They walk off. High shot looking down on the commandos as they walk away; they pass a line of people queueing for a tram, which (with immaculate timing) pulls up a moment later.
