If Yunfang is dead, the property will be inherited by her fiancé; if she dies without being married, her nearest relatives will inherit. All at once the people are suspicious of each other and create murder, while all the actions are watched by the servant Lao Cai and Wang Yiping, the assistant of the lawyer Song. In the end, the culprits are caught and Yunfang and Yiping become a loving couple.
