A campy, high-energy action-horror romp that blends kung fu spectacle with cannibalism and tribal horror, played more for absurdist thrills than genuine dread.

Agent 999 is sent to a remote Chinese island to capture a notorious bandit named Rolex. Upon arrival, 999 begins to suspect that something is wrong, and soon learns that the island is inhabited by flesh-eating cannibals under control of a tribal chief. 999 ultimately teams up with Rolex to overthrow the evil chief and escape the island.
