英雄叛國

北齊大將婁思好及杜仲遠得山巫預言，謂思好將被封為王，甚至登極為帝。北齊皇高琳果封思好為王、仲遠為侯。思好妻子藍英玲得知山巫預言，力勸思好弒君奪位。時皇帝到北原狩獵，思好乘夜弒君，並誣告太子為主謀。仲遠雖不相信，但為謀良策假意追捕太子。登位後思好即命統領梁羽風追殺仲遠，仲遠救兒子杜威後自刎而亡。登極之日，思好見仲遠鬼魂出現，嚇至魂不附體。英玲為滅口刺死羽風，她惶恐終日，彷彿洗不淨滿手鮮血，又怕鬼魂復仇。時不利傳言散播軍中，杜威與前朝太子亦合兵進攻。最後英玲被仲遠、羽風及高琳三鬼合力吊死；思好迎戰杜威不敵，垂死中怪責山巫，山巫反指他是被心魔及慾念所害。眾鬼魂再現，思好萬念俱灰從城樓跌斃。
