本作は江戸川乱歩の短編小説を現代風にアレンジし映画化する「赤い部屋」シリーズの第2弾。「畸形の天女」を映画化した「裸の天使 赤い部屋」は、妻子を持ち社会的地位も築いた男が、1人の少女と出会い愛欲の地獄へ堕ちていくエロティックサスペンスだ。

Ran (Shimamura) comes to Japan, and makes an immediate impression by assassinating a Yakuza boss and his associates, while they dine in a restaurant. Escaping the scene, she hides out in the restaurant owned by Yoichi (Yamato), and thanks him for covering for her with her body. About three hours later – or maybe it just seems that way – she moves on with the rest of her mission, which is to extract revenge on those responsible for the death of her sister. To this end, she works at the same hostess club as her late sibling, and waits for opportunity to present itself. However, the remaining target (Hakruyu), aware of his peril, kidnaps Ran’s friend Chun Li, and uses her to lure Ran out of the darkness.
