Inside an abandoned gold mine lurks a mysterious supernatural being conjured by a Native-American shaman ages ago to defend their tribe. This legendary phantom can appear in the flesh and pose as anyone. Luke's old west ancestors trapped it in the mine, but it has haunted their descendants ever since, causing them to go insane. Now Luke's niece, Poni, has come down with "the family curse." He believes that with the proper psychiatric treatment she can live a normal life but he needs to urgently make money for the costly medication. With the help of a couple friends, Luke ventures out to the deserted western mine to try his luck. As he discovers the ghost stories are true, he realizes that he must confront the evil spirit before it takes over his mind.—Paul Collett
