Plot
Okoyo, the mistress of Lord Arima, fears that she is being replaced by a younger woman named Otaki. In a fit of jealousy, she kills the younger girl. The dead woman's cat licks her blood and becomes a demon, seeking revenge on Okoyo. There are scenes of disembodied heads floating around and one in which the ghost, with her hands folded in like a cat's paws, forces two of her victims to tumble around repeatedly.
