Chinese Torture Chamber Story
Lovers Little Cabbage and a scholar are put on trial for the murder of Cabbage's husband by an overdose of aphrodisiac, which caused his sexual organ to explode. The real culprit is the magistrate's son, who is committing adultery with the scholar's wife, which was witnessed by Cabbage. The adulterous couple frame the platonic couple (Cabbage was still a virgin) to cover up their own affair. The scholar's maid and nanny take the case to appeal in the imperial capital-with most of the film revolving around the farcical trial, where the judge uses torture to extort a confession from the innocent lovers.
