Sayo (Mitsuyo Kamei), his beautiful sister, also com- mitted suicide when she heard of her brother's unnatural death, cursing Lord Nabeshima and Gyobu Yabuchi (Rokko Toura), the chamberlain of the Clan.
Her soul was transferred into Tama, a black cat she loved above all things, and it gained supernatural power when it lapped up Sayo's blood before she died.
Gradually Hanzaemon Komori (Kojiro Hongo), a loyal samurai, tracked down the evil spirit, but it entered Lady Otoyo (Naomi Kobayashi), Lord Nabeshima's favorite mistress, and Komori found himself forsaken by everyone in the castle…
