Asia the Invincible is reputed to be dead but a virile young naval officer thinks otherwise, suspecting that the beautiful demon lurks in the ruins of the Sun Moon monastery, where he persuades her to destroy those who are claiming that they are in fact Asia the Invincible at the expense of innocent lives.
