The first film is a masterpiece of gothic romance. Ning Tsai-shen (Leslie Cheung), a gentle, debt-ridden tax collector, seeks shelter for a night at the notoriously haunted Orchid Temple. There, he meets Nie Xiaoqian (Joey Wong), a woman of ethereal beauty who lures men to their deaths for her mistress, the thousand-year-old Tree Demon (Lau Siu-ming, voiced with terrifying elegance). Ning, unlike the lecherous men before him, treats her with respect and kindness. They fall in love.
