When the Demoness from a Thousand Years threatens to break into the real world, a Taoist priest sends his two fairy disciples to steal the Bead of Hell, which has the power to destroy the Demoness when combined with the Heaven's Sun Bead. Siu Yi gets trapped in a web, and Yun Yuk Yi has to traverse the modern world alone until she meets rookie police officer Mambo.
Ultimately, the defeat of the evil requires an innocent person to commit suicide, so Mambo quickly shoots himself in the head. Yun Yuk Yi sacrifices herself to save Mambo, who encounters Siu Yi, now appearing as a boardwalk vendor as he searches aimlessly for Yun Yuk Yi.
