In the 1970s, Scottish police officer Howie (played by Edward Woodward) received a letter stating that Ron Morrison, a girl on the summer island, a small island on the west coast of Scotland, had been missing for a long time. Ask him for help to solve the case. Howie came to Xia Island to investigate and found that the atmosphere on the island was very strange. The residents first said that they did not know the girl, and then said that the girl was dead. But Howie did not find the girl's body. The whereabouts of the missing girl became increasingly unclear. The truth of the case is getting more and more confusing. Howie was surprised to discover that the residents of the island were a group of The Wicker Man who did not believe in Jesus Christ. Lord Summer Island (Christopher Lee) seems to have great power and prestige. They did not cooperate with Howie's investigation. When Howie was about to leave the island, he discovered the tradition of using living people to worship in the island’s May Festival. He was ready to find out, but he didn’t know that the danger was approaching him.

The music and graphics are amazing, psychedelic and eerie aesthetic, compared to last year's "A Midsummer Nightmare" of the same genre, it's really a parody. However, there is a question. There is no freedom of religious belief in the UK. Why do the police attack infidels so strongly?

Miss Rose: You are the fool, Mr. Howie. Punch, one of the great fool-victims of history. For you have accepted the role of king for a day. And who but a fool would do that? But you will be revered and anointed as a king. You will undergo death and rebirth. Resurrection, if you like. The rebirth, sadly, will not be yours, but that of our crops.
Sergeant Howie: I am a Christian. And as a Christian, I hope for resurrection. And even if you kill me now, it is I who will live again, not your damned apples.

Lord Summerisle: Welcome, fool. You have come of your own free will to the appointed place. The game is over.
Sergeant Howie: Game? What game?
Lord Summerisle: The game of the hunted leading the hunter. You came here to find Rowan Morrison, but it is we who have found you and brought you here and controlled your every thought and action since you arrived. Principally, we persuaded you to think that Rowan Morrison was being held as a sacrifice because our crops failed last year.
Sergeant Howie: I know your crops failed. I saw the harvest photograph.
Lord Summerisle: Oh, yes. They failed, all right. Disastrously so. For the first time since my grandfather came here. The blossom came, but the fruit withered and died on the bough. That must not happen again this year. It is our most earnest belief that the best way of preventing this is to offer to our god of the sun and to the goddess of our orchards the most acceptable sacrifice that lies in our power.
