synopsis
Four separate stories by four separate directors make up this feature from Taiwan. These tales are recounted in a highly stylized, classical Chinese manner. The first story tells of ghosts, grave-robbers and the rewards for doing a good deed. The second reveals the fate of some larcenous inn-keepers. The third tells a tragic tale of frustrated vengeance. The last concerns a fisherman and ghosts or mirages.
