A female ghost appeared in a barren mound near Yangjiazhuang, wailing every night and terrifying the villagers. The feathered priest of the God of Wealth Temple tells the villagers to offer food and paper money to the female ghost, and the female ghost is indeed much quieter, but she only takes food and not paper money. When a young man, Wang Yuan Sheng, comes back from a trip, he does not see his child bride, Xiu Fang. His mother tells him that Xiu Fang has been having an affair with someone since he left and is pregnant, so she has already run away from home. Knowing that Xiu Fang is pregnant with her own child, Yuan Sheng does not believe his mother's story. Mother Wang is frightened by the ghost's screams and falls ill. Yuan Sheng becomes suspicious of the ghost's true identity because the ghost only takes food.

Three women fled to Shanghai due to the war and rented a room in the back of a building. They met four homeless men, who, coincidentally, lived next door, and the seven became friends. When the landlord cut off the electricity to a tenant who couldn't pay their rent, the seven intervened and learned that the man of the house was serving in the army, leaving only the invulnerables in the family. To help them, the seven performed an open-air play in the city center square to raise funds.
