Uncle Jiu of Maoshan

Uncle Jiu and his disciples escort an old general's body home to Xiangxi. Along the way a vengeful badger spirit strikes: a paper-effigy shop and several children fall victim. The greedy A Biao swallows a golden pearl taken from the corpse, to farcical effect. Framed for the deaths and thrown in jail, Uncle Jiu joins forces with A Biao and Shuangbao to lure the spirit into a trap, and in the end wins it over rather than destroying it. Cleared of the charges, they carry the general on to his burial in Xiangxi.
