The Queen Bee

Hsiao Yen, a Young Country girl, has come to the city to find work. Her first job is as a maid-servant. She is told by the hunchback servant Lei Kung, that the master of the house is an invalid cripple who never leaves his room. One night, Hsiao Yen's screams bring Ta Tseng, the Chauffeur, to the rescue of Wang Ma, an old servant, who has tried to hang herself...

Directed by Ting Shan-Hsi, The Queen Bee leans on a strong ensemble — Ling Yin, Wang Yong, Miao Tian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1973.
