Ranma Saotome never thought a martial arts training mission to China would turn out like this! An accidental dunk in a cursed spring changes boy Ranma into a young girl, every time he is splashed with cold water. Hot water reverses the effect - but only until next time! Ranma rescues a hapless child being attacked by a flock of evil birdmen. The little kid turns out to be none other than the daughter of the infamous cursed springs' guide! She tells Ranma that the secret map of the springs must be protected from the bird-brained bandits or the very springs themselves will dry up! Ranma and friends are thrust into battle when Shampoo is taken over by the leader of the bird people. Can Ranma beat the birds and save the springs, or will the feathered fiends get the best of him/her?
