After her parents are slaughtered by the villainous Red Devil, a young girl is rescued from certain death and raised by the legendary White Wolf of a Thousand Years deep in the snowy wilderness. Twenty years later, now more monster than man, she must learn to harness her ninja-like animal instincts to take down the Red Devil and reclaim her humanity in the process.

The inimitable Pearl Chang pulled quadruple duty as director, writer, producer, and star of this loose adaptation of Baifa Monu Zhuan (白髮魔女傳) aka Romance of the White-Haired Maiden. Chang pulled no punches for her debut feature, mashing together hopping vampires, gorilla ninjas, wire fu stunt work, and voodoo magic effects in this psychedelic masterpiece of lupine lunacy.
