Across the Loess Plateau… Is a story of family feuds and furtive passions! On the Loess Plateau of Shanbei live two clans, the YIMs and the SUNGs. The SUNGs have been relying on the YIMs and a lasting peace has been going on for three generations. But this situation cannot continue when YIM MAN-HEI (LAM, BOWIE) becomes the Superintendent. His rise to power has drawn the clans into serious conflict. SUNG TUNG-SING (CHAN HO, MOSES) who falls in love with a widow has suffered the cruelest punishment, the Penalty of Torching, for his affair, as ordered by HEI. SING’s lover is burnt to death while SING is expelled from YIM’s clan...
