Where
The Chens, a well-established family in Republican days, live in an old mansion in Canton. The Yangs are their old friends. At the order of his parents, the scholar Yang Chen-yu (Wang Jung) marries Chen Hsiu-ying (Tanny Tien Ni) and lives with her family. Her parents die, and the Chens suffer a reverse of fortune. Unhappy with his marriage, Yang indulges in women and drink and often persecutes his bedridden wife.
Liang Yi-hua (Chen Szu-chia), a beautiful lady who claims to be the daughter of an ex-amah of the Chens, comes to serve Hsiu-ying. When Yang rapes Liang in her presence, Liang and Hsiu-ying together drown him in a tub and dump his body into a pond. Haunted by the spirit of Yang, Hsiu-ying dies of fright. But Yang, who is still very such alive, marries Liang, his ex-mistress, and the whole plot becomes clear.
The newlyweds inherit everything and live on in the old mansion, but they are haunted by the spirit of Hsiu-ying. The husband dies of hallucinations, while the wife goes berserk.
Are they really haunted by a ghost?
