The demonic Hikita clan emerges from the grave to fulfill a curse on the Satomi clan by restoring their warlord's visage with Princess Shizu's skin. The clan murders her entire family while attempting to capture her, but Princess Shizu escapes their grasp. She enlists the services of eight samurai warriors, all of them are in possession of a strong magical crystal and are headed by Dosetsu (Sonny Chiba!) to rescue the other members of her court and exact revenge on her family. They must battle undead soldiers, demonic spirits, poisoned beauties, and a monstrous centipede along the way.
