The city boss Zhao Dabao drove a black car into the secluded Kaoshan Village, breaking the tranquility in the village. Zhang Fugui took the opportunity to cling to Zhao Dabao, but secretly coveted Sister Liu who lived alone. One day, Zhang Fugui peeped at Sister-in-law Liu while she was washing and washing by the stream, and attempted to commit violence. He was caught by Wang Ergou who came to fish. Zhang Fugui hurriedly fled and bit back, falsely accusing Wang Ergou of misdeeds. Sister-in-law Liu, whose head was covered with a basket of black cloth, failed to see the real culprit and mistakenly believed that Wang Ergou was the perpetrator. At night, Zhang Fugui once again peeled off the wall to spy on Sister-in-law Liu taking a bath. He accidentally dropped a cigarette, causing a fire in the firewood pile, and framed Wang Ergou for setting the fire and destroying the evidence. In order to prove the crime, Zhang Fugui used cigarettes to bribe the lazy Li San to give false testimony and accuse Wang Ergou of peeping. The village chief believed the testimony and asked Wang Ergou to admit his mistake and kowtow. Zhang Fugui took the opportunity to instruct the gangster to push Wang Ergou to the ground and seriously injure him, threatening him to completely give up his thoughts. Sister-in-law Liu witnessed the truth, but because she was threatened by Zhang Fugui about her late husband stealing wood, she dared not speak out. Wang Ergou, who was seriously injured, firmly believed that the prestigious Li Sitong could clear his name, so he endured severe pain and walked for two hours to the commune for help. On the surface, Li Sitong was furious and promised to seek justice for him, but in fact, he had already accepted Zhang Fugui's bribe and secretly planned to make things wrong. A battle between innocence and justice had just begun.
