THe film features a totally distinctive sleuth faced with an unusual case involving his three wives, a killer bear, three murders, a one-armed lady, a dead monk, a chamber of horrors, a vengeful swordsman, a lovesick juggler, a kidnapped nun -- and a nagging head cold. Every role -- major, supporting or extra -- is portrayed by an Asian, making this another TV movie first.
