What happens

Guardian Angel is a 1994 American action film directed by Richard W. Munchkin, starring Cynthia Rothrock, Lydie Denier, Daniel McVicar and Marshall R. Teague. Rothrock plays a cop-turned-bodyguard on assignment to protect a rich playboy from an unhinged woman, who is both the client's former mistress and the criminal responsible for the death of the heroine's fiancé. Although contemporary reviews were mixed, it is better regarded than most of the actress' American output. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
