A wandering scholar (Leslie Cheung), still mourning the loss of his ghostly love, escapes wrongful imprisonment and falls for a rebellious woman (Joey Wang). 

Meanwhile, an evil monster threatens to destroy all hopes of love unless a maniacal Taoist ghostbuster (Jacky Cheung) can stop it first! Outrageous special effects galore.
