Emperor Jian-wen of the Ming Dynasty is overthrown by his uncle.
He becomes a monk in order to escape from the new emperor who

and his escort Cheng Ji run along the country side they witness
the decapitation of his old subjects and the arrest of their
families. He also mistakes the sound of a country temple bell to
be that of the imperial palace bell, and thinks he is back at
the palace. After coming back to reality Jian-wen sorrowfully
takes off with Cheng Ji. |
