Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Southern Mo and Northern Ma are professional corpse escorts. They have been given the task of controlling a pair of vampire lovers, Wong and Jenny, to their final resting place. Mo and Ma take on the job, accompanied by their apprentices, and begin their journey. But a dark wizard, Ha-La-Chak, is on their trail, searching for a secret letter possibly concealed within Wong's body.
