The city is stunned by a large number of baby abductions. The police face a puzzle. That is why Tung the Miracle Woman, Ching the Invisible Woman and Chat the Thief-catcher are called in. Tung and Ching both studied martial arts under the same master and were separated when Ching was kidnapped at the age of twelve and brainwashed by the centuries-old monk Chan - the brain behind the abductions. Circumstances forced Ching to become callous and hard as hard as nails. Now she becomes the assistant of Li, a researcher working on an invisible robe. Chat was also once kidnapped by Chan, but she managed to escape sooner and has since earned her living as thief-catcher. Chan's robbery brings the three closer together and they become the Heroines of the East.
