Convinced of infidelity, the scholar Wang Yulin refuses to consummate his marriage to Xiuying, the only daughter of the Secretary of Defense, subjecting her to constant humiliation.

This film marks the first co-starring appearance of Yang Li-hua and Ye Qing, two legends of televised Gezaixi (Gezai opera).
