Village leader (ผู้ใหญ่) Krai is a rich man. His wife Lamduan (ใจสัตว์) is having an affair with An, a local ruffian. Meanwhile An has made Dokmai, a local lady villager, pregnant and swears (สาบาน) to marry her. The child shall be born soon. Chot, Dokmai’s brother, is upset by this situation but cannot complain as An is his boss. There is a temple fair with musical folk drama (ลิเก) and a bell is offered to the temple. A nice Buddhist countryside ceremony is shown with the temple bell consecration. It ends tragically as the village leader is pushed into the bell in hot fusion and dies. An becomes the new village leader. A new visitor arrives in the village. His name is Chok and he has been hired by An to protect Pen and her sister Pol, daughters of former Village leader Krai. Lamduan is only their stepmother (แม่เลี้ยง). An will give their heritage back when they get married but he already started to spend a lot. An forgets Dokmai. Village leader ghost (ผีผู้ใหญ่) appears and visits his daughter Pen to tell her the truth and to beware of An. Chok is a hitman (มือปืน) so Pen doesn't trust him either. The ghost kills three ruffians involved in his murder. An still refuses to recognize Dokmai’s pregnancy. Dokmai dies in a fire set in her house by An's ruffians. Chot promises to revenge. Lamduan orders to burn both Pen and Pol but Chok helps them on time. Dokmai ghost appears to kill Lamduan as she has taken away An from her. The village leader ghost tries to kill both Lamduan and An as they planned to kill him. Luckily for them the abbot (หลวงพ่อ) amulet chases the ghost away. An recruits a master (อาจารย์) but he is useless. Dokmai ghost strangles Lamduan while she was having a bath so without any Buddhist amulet protection. An hires another master to fight the two ghosts (โจรเราไม่เลี้ยง). Dokmai ghost is neutralised. Chok is an uncovered policeman. He wishes to capture An but this latter escapes and is followed up by Krai ghost. Finally Chot and An kill each other (ทำความชั่วตายจากความชั่ว). Parts of the movie are missing.
