What happens

，為1981年香港邵氏公司發行，楚原執導之武俠電影。改編自黃鷹執筆之《驚魂六記》其一《黑蜥蜴》。 青年劍客龍飛（爾冬陞飾）與鏢局總鏢頭之女丁紫竺（潘冰嫦飾）情投意合，終身已定，唯龍飛因公事在身，不得不遠赴塞外。怎知一日龍飛遇到一名自稱黃泉來客之人（顧冠忠飾），警告龍飛紫竺即將有喪命之危。龍飛聞言心生不安，擔心未婚妻安危，即刻趕返，卻在途中遇一紅衣人（元華飾）帶著一副棺材，棺材中不斷傳來人聲，而其中所載之物竟是一長相酷似紫竺的木屍，龍飛雖想攔截紅衣人，最終紅衣人卻還是逃去。在龍飛到達丁家後，怪事更是接踵而來，先是龍飛於丁家門外見到對面蕭家已故世兩年的女主人，亦即紫竺姨母的白仙君（陳曼娜飾）；而龍飛的友人鐵虎鐵捕頭（孫建飾）也在此時送來一封上書丁蕭兩家將有怪事發生的信籤，龍飛更於當晚再次見到紅衣人及白仙君出現於蕭家。 隔日龍飛與鐵虎前往蕭家造訪主人蕭立（岳華飾），才知紅衣人及白仙君已非初次出現。蕭立表示因多年前誤殺三年一次出現於蜥蜴湖的黑蜥蜴，而其子蕭若愚（吳元俊飾）則乃黑蜥蜴投胎轉身，在蕭立見到其背後的蜥蜴胎記後，便頓失人性，與白仙君一同墜入蜥蜴湖中，而此後白仙君的魂魄便時常出現。龍飛及鐵虎雖有疑於蕭立說詞，但確目睹諸多怪象，兩人於是繼續深入調查，卻發現其中藏有一樁人倫慘劇……。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
