allmovie.com: «A
small time con artist and his loyal companion must fight to prove their innocent
when they are accused of attempting to poison a princess in this adventure
mini-series directed by David Wu (The Bride with White Hair) and starring
David Carradine. D.B. (John Reardon) was abandoned at birth on the docks of
Shanghai, but while most children never would have survived that traumatic start
David was rescued from certain death and soon forged a close bond with the
resourceful Bird (Carradine). As D.B. grew into a young man, Bird became his
constant companion. It always seemed like there was no jam that D.B. and Bird
couldn't eventually work their way out of, and when it came to swindling this
cunning pair were always at the top of their game. Neither D.B. nor Bird would
have ever imagined that one of their brash schemes that would ultimately change
the course of their entire lives, yet a daring mission to steal the royal
court's jewels did precisely that. Upon carrying out the potentially profitable
but highly dangerous mission, D.B. fell desperately in love with the stunning
princess Li Wei (Desiree Siahaan). Though his affections were indeed
reciprocated, it began to look like their love was doomed as the princess'
father attempted to find her a more suitable husband. The princess, however,
thwarted this plan by challenging her suitors to a series of arduous and
impossible tests ostensibly staged to prove their love for her. When the
nefarious Prince of the North (Rupert Graves) frames D.B. and Bird for
attempting to murder the princess and sentences them to death, the wily
companions rightly begin to surmise that they may have finally gotten themselves
into a jam from which there is no escape» (Jason Buchanan).
