Tao is a mixed-race man who, adorned with a dragon's head, is believed by the natives to be the Spirit of Evil, which allows him to commit all kinds of misdeeds. With the help of accomplices, he attempts to steal the plans for an oil field that an old monk has given to Soun, a young Laotian woman. Jacques Chauvry, the administrator of the region, helps her fight against Tao.
