Plot Summary

An invisible woman is kidnapping newborn babies who are destined to be emperors and delivering them to the mysterious subterranean supernatural Evil Master. The police are powerless, and the city must be saved by three very different women who share a terrible past. Anita Mui plays a mild mannered housewife of a police inspector who's also the mask wearing, sword slinging and knife throwing crime fighter, Wonder Woman; Maggie Cheung plays the shotgun-toting, hard-boiled bounty hunter, Thief Catcher, while Michelle Yeoh is the troubled but determined strong right arm of the Evil Master, Invisible Girl.

The main characters of the film are reunited in a sequel, another 1993 film, "Executioners".
