In Vientiane, a booby-trapped corpse, intended for Dr. Siri, the national coroner of Laos, has been delivered to the morgue. In his absence, only Nurse Dtuiโs intervention saves the lives of the morgue attendants, visiting doctors, and Madame Daeng, Dr. Siriโs fiancรฉe.
On his way back from a communist party meeting in the north, Dr. Siri is kidnapped by seven female Hmong villagers under the direction of the village elder so that he willโin the guise of Yeh Ming, the thousand-year-old shaman with whom he shares his bodyโexorcise the headmanโs daughter whose soul is possessed by a demon, and lift the curse of the pogo stick.
