Tells the story of the return to Taiwan of Swinhoe's pheasants, bred by The Pheasant Trust and released in their native land to reinforce the wild population which was threatened with extinction. The filmmaker travels with the pheasants, stopping at Taipei, then leaving the heat and smog of the capital, taking a trip into the remote interior of the island in search of wildlife, before returning to the city and investigating Taiwanese practices to provide Chinese medicine.
