Silver
Maid is played by a young kid fighter named Ng Siu Wai, essentially cut
from the same cloth as Lin Hsiao-Lao's Magic Peach character (MAGIC
OF SPELL, CHILD
OF PEACHet al). She wants to become a student in the ruthless
Red Devil cult, an internally fractured sect loosely held together by
the fiery red-haired Chief. But, seemingly, this heathen band enforces
a 'no females allowed' rule and they make things very difficult for her.
Meanwhile, Silver Maid is on a mission of her own to find an elixir to
cure her sickly grandmother. But - for some reason - this potion is guarded
by four poisonous creatures who don't want to share. These monsters are
a frog, a centipede, a scorpion and [deadliest of all] a giant snake (see
pic above, right).
Please
note: the subtitles, while easy to read, are often too long for the screen
and get cut off on the sides (see image, center below).
