An impoverished Chinese vase painter is considered an unsuitable suitor for his lover. He accepts the offer of a wealthy thief to die in his place at the day of his execution, in exchange for payment in gold. Paid in advance, the painter marries his lover. Five days later, he attempts to fulfil his promise and die at the thief's place. But he learns that the thief has already died from a cholera infection, and there is no need for him to die.
