The story in "Snake Charmer" is about some mystery murders that take place in Hong Kong where the victims are found poisoned by a very rare and deadly toxin. A single woman (played by Marsha Yuen), who works as a night club called Club Medusa, is tied to the murders, as she is the last to be seen with the victims in every single case. Inspector Chi-Wai Man (played by Jackie Lui Chung-yin) is assigned to the case and is working on a tight deadline to crack the case.
Hong Kong experiences a wave of macabre deaths: the victims have been sucked dry and steeped in snake venom. A young detective (Jackie Lui) follows a series of bizarre clues and scours the city's exotic underbelly to track down the killer. A nightclub (that doubles as a brothel) housing 5 seductive suspects appears to be at the centre of the mystery. The trail leads him to a beautiful and mysterious woman who has a special affinity with snakes. When the policeman's investigations come to a dead end, the chance discovery of a videotape pulls him into a decadent world of deadly drugs, forbidden passion and poisonous murder!
