A young goblin named Yung-Hu is hopelessly infatuated with a married human woman, I-Ling. She and her husband, Kwo-Fong, are thrilled by the arrival of pilgrims eager to learn about Buddha. However, Tripitaka is appalled by I-Ling’s terrible dance performance celebrating Buddhism, leading the pilgrims to depart in disappointment.
