Plot

Wang-Chung was a street-side black market merchant, who ran a small street-side bazaar that sold everything from the organs of endangered species to illegal weapons. One day, while making a pirated DVD sale, he gets a tip that the FBI is on his tail. Wang-Chung immediately closes his bazaar and hastily hides in his camp-trailer, where he hides illegal fireworks. Shortly after, the FBI arrives and begins investigating his street-corner. An hour later, Wang-Chung takes a lit cigarette and then puts it on a 6-pack of canned beverages. It falls off and lands on the fuse of a firecracker, causing his entire fireworks stash to shoot everywhere in all directions, causing a catastrophic, forceful blast wave of blazing fire that no human could survive, sending him to hell where he will never sell illegal items ever again. When the explosions end, the FBI agent opens the door to find Wang-Chung's blackened corpse.
