Story: |
In southwest central Korea sometime during the Choseon dynasty, perhaps
a couple of centuries ago, an elegant young masked master of the sword
fascinates the people of the market-place. In order to steal a gold
Buddha, he sends a horse-drawn cart plunging through the narrow
passage-ways, finally crashing and disgoring a mass of coins. The
distraction is a success, and the duelist escapes;
though not without a chase by the rough-hewn young woman detective
Nam-sun, herself a master of armed conflict in the form of paired
long-knives. After it is discovered that the coins are counterfeit,
the police do their best to catch the duelist and his gang, but the
duelist eliminates most of those after him. The young woman and her
boss, a middle-aged man, are assigned the job of
tracking him down, an assignment she eagerly takes on. During her
efforts, she battles the duelist more than once, proving to be just
about his match in combat. But not in love. The duelist is always
cool and calm, whereas her love for him, abetted by her raucus
character, makes her a mouse that his cat-like character and moves
can toy with. Thus, even the police's plan for her to go undercover
in a high-class house of pleasure go humorously awry, as she
literally tumbles for him. The movie draws towards a close as the
police first throw her off the case and then discover the hide-out
where the counterfeit coins are minted. Scores of police surround
and . . .
