In Qing dynasty China, the widowed Madame Tung is the village schoolteacher and a woman everyone respects; the townspeople ask the emperor to have an arch raised in honour of her virtue. Around the same time Captain Yang of the cavalry is billeted in her house, and in the home she shares with her mother and her daughter Tung begins to feel drawn to him.
