The story takes place in the late Qing Dynasty, a remote town in Guangdong Province - Chaofeng Town. Xu Jing (Chen Miner), a woman in the town, married her husband Zheng Guiyuan (Yang Zelin), had a son Zheng Zhongsheng, and lived a dull life with her aunt and uncle Guikai (Liu Qingyun). 　　Unfortunately, after years of war, a large number of starving people flowed into the town, and the mayor ordered He Si (Liu Jiang), the chief of the wharf, to send rice for disaster relief, but he knew that He Si embezzled from it, mixed rice with sand, caused a riot among the hungry, and held the brothel proprietress Zuidie (Ouyang Peishan) hostage to seize silver. As the head catcher, Gui Yuan was shot dead by the starving people when he went to mediate, and Xu Jing suddenly became a widow. At this time, the country sister welcomed her brother (Zeng Huaqian) to take refuge in Xu Jing, which made Jing even more important. 　　Gui Kai was infatuated with his brother, and because of this, he offended his rival He Si, which led to his death. With the help of courage and the secret help of the drunken butterfly, Jing was able to clear the charges, and the mayor of the town looked at Jing differently and appointed him as the female catcher, and Jing agreed for the sake of the family. After Jing became a female head catcher, she was under pressure from all parties, and learned that Zui Die had an affair with her husband during her lifetime, and had mixed feelings, and her son Zhongsheng also ran away from home because of Jing's negligence in discipline, and contracted the plague, but fortunately the fugitive Gu Zeren (Kaohsiung) rescued him. Jing and her brother fell in love with Zeren, which almost turned the sisters against each other, but fortunately, there was a drunken butterfly to mediate, and the brother fell back into his arms. Zeren never forgot the savior Drunken Butterfly, and later the Drunken Butterfly was very disappointed for the brothel woman, and Xu Jing was very frustrated when she learned that Zeren and the Drunken Butterfly were on good terms, and Zeren's identity as a fugitive was exposed. There is an explanation in the play.
