A down-at-heel Cantonese opera company arrives in Cheung Chau to perform for a rich man, who wants to marry off his nephew Dick to the star of the company, Ah Gee (Siao Fong Fong). The uncle believes there is a curse on his family and is convinced that the marriage can end the curse. As soon as they arrive, the company is thwarted by a female spirit, Catshit, who turns out to be the precursor of a whole army of spirits sent to pester the uncle and one of the older actors. Only then do Ah Gee and Dick find out that the danger has nothing to d with a curse, but a crime committed by Ah Gee's ancestors. This involved selling bad medicines to soldiers as a result of which a whole platoon of ghosts is out for vengeance.
