FAIRY, GHOST, VIXEN (1965) consists of three fanciful tales that may be loosely classified as ghost stories, but they're presented and designed more along the lines of traditional fairy tales. They're beautifully staged and photographed and have a timeless quality about them with a moral at the end of each.

Adapted from one of China's most well-known fairy tales, the Goddess of Mount Hua falls in love with a young mortal scholar Liu Yanchang and gives birth to a baby son, Chenxiang. When Chenxiang grows up, he seeks to unravel the mystery surrounding his mother whom he has never met.

Mrs. Yin was murdered, and the detective suspected that the Yin family was responsible. He ordered his men to stay in the mansion and not leave. However, a series of murders occurred in the mansion, with the Yin family's children being killed one after another, leaving only Yin Zhilan. The detective secretly set a trap to lure out the killer and uncover the truth behind so many murders.

Hong Kong drama directed by Wong Tin-Lam.
