In 1895, in the village near Tokyo, a woman and her lover killed her husband-rick and threw the body into an old well. For three years they met secretly, and the other inhabitants of the village were the ghost of the deceased. They were exposed, and after torture they were executed. All this time their passion did not cool down, and the last meeting of love took place at the bottom of the well among the remains of the murdered.
