The story takes place in Japan at the beginning of the Showa era, following detective Mamiya Mugen and his butler Alucard as they solve bizarre supernatural mysteries together. The film will adapt the "Ningyou Jigoku" (roughly translated as "Doll of Hell") arc from the Mugen Shinshi Kaiki-hen manga.
Furthermore, Takahashi launched Mugen Shinshi Kaiki-hen in 1984 in Tokuma Shoten's Medium magazine. In Kaiki-hen, Takashi drew the protagonist Mamiya as a young adult.
