The story unfold in the country of Wusih in the Ming Dynasty where a young man, Wang Chen Tu (Chin Han), took beautiful Liu Yen Niang (Pat Hing Tung) as his wife. The trouble started with Wang’s sister, Yu Huan (Shen Yi), who is shrewd and wild and always quarreled with Liu. One night, when Liu was embroidering Yu Huan’ skirt, another dispute arose between the sisters-in-law. Wang intervened and the sisters-in-law retired to their bedrooms. On the same night, Yu Huan was murdered by thief Ho Lu Rung (Cheung Kwong Chiu). Both Wang and his mother suspected Liu and accused Liu in the Wusih Magistarcy. The Wusih Magistrate, Chao Chung (Yeung Chi Hing), was a stubborn and self-conceited character. This, plus the timidity of prosecution witness Chu Wu (Ku Feng) who gave false evidence against Liu put Liu in the death cell.
