Synopsis by Robert Firsching

Morihei Magatani directed this traditionally Japanese horror adventure about a girl who, along with her friend and the ghost of her dead sister, tries to protect her family's treasure from thieves seeking to plunder it for their own. The film contains a good deal of underwater footage featuring pretty Yoko Mihara and Reiko Sato, which was enough to briefly place a butchered version with horrible dubbing in American drive-ins. Masayo Banri and Bunta Sugawara co-star. Magatani went on to direct the notorious Kyuju-kyuhonme No Kimusume the same year.
