They buried much of the treasure and a dormant vampire under a pagoda.Two actresses and a tutor from the troupe get to the pagoda by accident, followed by the three policemen. There is a messy fight with some ghostly being. But when the vampire comes to life, hell falls on the island. Al the inhabitants are killed. Only the six – cops and actresses – survive.
