Film review, 'The tick of this movie is its maze-like plot and strange proceedings... the play with shadow and light is most appropriate showing how the production has expended itself well in the cinematography department...'

Ng Cho Fan (as Mok Ming), Chow Kwun-ling (as Tsi Law-heung), Chan Ching-wah (as Chan Mei-chu), Tang Pui (as Po Tak-yan), Yee Chau Shui (as reporter), Wong Cho-shan (as Uncle Tak), Lau Kwai-hong (as reporter), Lau Hang (as manager), Ma Siu-ling (as Mrs Po), Ho Hen (as dance hall manager). Mok Ming takes over an old mansion that once belongs to Po Tak-yan. Tak-yan's mistress, the singing star Tsi Law-heung, has died in the mansion. Her spirit reportedly haunts the mansion as her coffin remains unburied. The night of Mok Ming's arrival, he sees the ghost and notes that she bears a strong resemblance to his late wife Kit-ching. Mok Ming also dreams that his wife has possessed Tsi Law-heung's spirit to return to him. Mok Ming asks Uncle Tak to take him to the coffin. Tsi Law-heung suddenly resurrects and assumes her identity as Kit-ching. A joyful Mok Ming accepts that his wife has come back to him from death even though he is vaguely suspicious. He brings his "wife" to celebrate in a night club where they chance to meet Po Tak-yan and his mistress, Mei-chu. Po Tak-yan's suspicions are immediately aroused. Mok Ming frankly says that his wife has returned through Tsi Law-heung's spirit. Two reporters are in attendance and the news is widely reported in the papers. To resolve his suspicions, Tak-yan goes to the old mansion. He meets Mok Ming and wife, and Uncle Tak. The wife denies that she is Tsi Law-heung. Tak-yan goes back to his hotel to retrieve a pistol and returns to the old mansion to confront the ghost woman. Mok Ming intervenes and in the struggle, Tak-yan falls down the stairs to his death, but Tsi Law-heung is shot and wounded. Now it is time for her to tell Mok Ming of her past.(Extracted from the film brochure.) Videocassette. 1 videocassette (VHS) (88 min.) : sd., b&w ; 1/2 in. Dialogue in Cantonese. VV165.
