At a posh private school, a teacher is murdered by bow and arrow, so
Saki (Yuki Saito), reluctant underage undercover cop, is transferred to
that school to especially investigate the archery club. When she arrives
at the school though, she finds out that the archery club has just been
disbanded, but she also finds a lead to an expelled student, Yumie, who
especially excelled at archery, and she soon manages to track her down and
make friends with her - to find out that she did not kill the teacher. That
night, another teacher is murdered, and an archery medal that belonged to
Yumie is found next to his body. Now everyone is convinced that Yumie was
the killer, and when Saki tracks her down and talks to her, Yumie even
admits to it, but Saki is convinced she is covering up for someone else. The
next night, the mysterious archer prepares to kill another teacher, but
Saki saves the killer, then exposes the killer to be ... Yumie's archery
teacher, the one man who gave problem child Yumie's life meaning - which
is why she covered up for him. Saki, armed with her trusted yo-yo, is
about to arrest the rogue teacher, but Yumie, armed with darts, tries to
prevent her from doing so. In the end, justice is served though. Not
a piece of great television, but fun in a corny way - I mean, where else
do you find schoolgirls armed with yo-yos and darts fighting each other?
