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 Dtuiβs intervention saves the lives of the morgue attendants, visiting doctors, and Madame Daeng, Dr. Siriβs fiancΓ©e.
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 willβin the guise of Yeh Ming, the thousand-year-old shaman with whom he shares his bodyβexorcise the headmanβs daughter whose soul is possessed by a demon, and lift the curse of the pogo stick.
