TV producer Stephen and programme host Stella go to Malaysia to shoot a special feature on a wicked dwarf. This dwarf was trapped in a stone coffin because he practised evil magic. Before he died, he cast a death spell on all those who enter his grave. As soon as he finishes shooting the footage, Stephen returns to Hong Kong. He also brings with him a gold ingot Buddha that originally belonged to the wicked dwarf. Stella and the crew stay behind and go to the Borneo Long House for more footage. The people there are very friendly and generous. That night the crew tries out the village custom of marriage. Then strange things happen. The crew die mysteriously. The sorcerer goes to see the village witch and discovers Stella has a scorpion spell cast on her. Stella accidentally kills the sorcerer. The witch finds out that Stella is actually his granddaughter. He decides to sacrifice himself to save her. Strange things also happen to Stephen after he returns to Hong Kong.
