Yen Chun, who was an actor even longer than he was a director, guides Li Ching, star of the award-winning Susanna, in a challenging leading role. She plays a sweet inn-keeper's daughter, who's in love with a woodcutter, but witness to a perverted rape perpetrated by the victim's own brother. Tragically, the sister commits suicide in shame, and the rapists turn their attentions to the witness, leading to more danger than most romantic dramas can handle.
