Synopsis
This is a retelling of the Madame White Snake legend, also the basis for Tsui Hark's 1993 film, Green Snake. Price changes certain elements of the original tale -- the names have all been changed, for example -- but the basics are the same.
A failed scholar meets two immensely desirable women, who happen to be snake spirits attempting to take a short-cut on the wheel of life, whom he takes as his wives. Buddhist monks and Taoist priests, not trusting spirits who attempt humanness without the benefit of reincarnation, attempt to tear them apart.
