Teki Ren-chieh (Di Ren-chieh), a lawman in Narangzhou, is ordered by Yang (Yang) to transport a prisoner being held in the Seongnam Prison. The prisoners were being held there because of a plague called the Black Death caused by a swarm of rats that was spreading throughout the town. During the transfer, Tetsuo Tekirenjie receives a letter from the divine doctor, Lu Zhishuo, requesting help in controlling the outbreak, and he and his daughter, Su Niang, visit the governor's office to report the completion of their mission. The next morning, however, the town was sealed off by Lieutenant Ouyang of the governor's office due to the spread of an epidemic, and the people, unable to escape, fell into chaos. With the help of Su Xiaoyou, a master grave robber, and An Shixiong, a death-row inmate with extensive knowledge of the Seongnam Prison, Tetsuo Tetsuo begins to investigate the truth behind the plague, but a huge conspiracy involving the Imperial Court emerges behind the investigation. The film is a short, but very entertaining. The Japanese trailer is included as a special feature.
