Fear
and dread consume a remote village after a mysterious ape-man attacks
and captures eight warriors. Women start disappearing. A rogue swordsman
named Jaka arrives but is immediately under suspicion and attacked by
the villagers. After a scrimmage, he is cursed by someone during a town
meeting. In a violent spasm he attacks and tries to rape Endang, the
daughter of the local martial arts school master. He is captured and
hung upside-down (to circulate his blood and rid the curse). Meanwhile,
the Ape - uncomfortable with Jaka's arrival - sends his warriors [now
dressed in multi-colored outfits] to challenge him but they fail. More
violent deaths plague the community plus the Ape decides to replace
his current sex slave with a new female. Eventually, Jaka wages war
against the Ape and his warrior army inside Hell Cave.
