Three Delivery synopsis
Years ago, an evil young apprentice named Kong Li unleashed the power of a magical cookbook, scattering its dangerous recipes throughout Chinatown. Thanks to an ancient spell, a force field was placed around the city, keeping the magic in the book. For many years, the rest of the world was protected, but now Kong Li has returned to find the powerful recipes. If he succeeds, evil power will be released and the world will be in danger.
Luckily, three teenage heroes skilled in Kung Fu have been trained to stop Kong Li. When orphans Sue, Sid and Tobey are recruited by Nana to make deliveries for Wu’s Garden Chinese restaurant, they see it as a chance to move out of the orphanage and ride cool bikes. Little did they know that every evening they would be locked in a lightning-fast battle against evil for the fate of the world.

THREE DELIVERY
A side of rice, a little broccoli
A flying bicycle, a secret recipe
And on the way home, I’ll solve a mystery
Just another night in the city
Delivery!
(delivery, delivery)
Delivery!
(delivery, delivery)
Delivery!
(delivery, delivery)
Three delivery!
Flashing lights above Chinatown
Giant footsteps are shaking the ground
The boss doesn’t care, you can eat in or take out
Because it’s just another night in the city
Delivery!
