Summary:
Taoist priest Ko (Lam Ching Ying), along with his two hapless assistants, Chow (Chin Siu Ho) and Man Chor (Ricky Hui Koon-Ying), set out to fix the Yam family's recent streak of bad fortune. The priest soon concludes that a vengeful feng shui master had tricked the family into burying its elder in a manner that was bound to reap bad luck. Yet before the problem could be corrected, grandpa (Yuen Wah) comes bursting out of the ground and kills his son. When the son returns from the great beyond to reek havoc on the living, Ko eventually manages to put him to rest for good, though gramps continues to terrorize. Meanwhile, Chow has been seduced and bitten by a beautiful spirit (Pauline Wong) and will turn into a vampire unless Ko comes to the rescue and uses all his arcane skills to set matters right...
