Washed-up French director René Vidal hopes to turn his career around with an update of ''Les Vampires,'' a silent-era masterpiece about about a notorious ring of thieves, led by crafty female crook Irma Vep. René brings in Chinese star Maggie Cheung to play Vep, but unexpected roadblocks arise on the set. Maggie doesn't know French, she's pursued by obsessive lesbian crew member Zoe and her character's criminal ways begin to rub off on her.
