This was a sequel to Dan Duyu's earlier version of the classical story of the spider women's attempt to trap the Buddha and eat him, in order to gain immortality. Nearly all data on the film has been lost, other than the director and leading lady, Dan's actress-wife Yin Mingzhu (in the center of the accompanying photo, pointing).
