Story
Brave Jong argued to spend the night in an abandoned house in which he must peel an apple in front of a mirror. Wanting to protect the title of the bravest, Chöng agrees. However, that night his friends breed him. While Jong scolds a friend for a joke, a real ghost appears and kidnaps a friend. The ghost tries to get to Chen, but accidentally chops off his hand and breaks the glass, because of which the house collapses.
The next day, Jong overhears a story about an unfaithful wife from a tofu seller, so Brave goes home to check on his wife and stumbles upon two guys at the front door. He shouts at them that his wife hears in bed with the employer Chen Tham. The lover has time to escape, but leaves his shoe, which Chong finds, which is why he is scandalous with her. The wife starts hysterical and makes her husband feel guilty.
Tham is concerned that Chen can get to the bottom of the truth about his wife’s romance, so he hires Chen's sorcerer to get rid of Chen. Chyu, Chin's companion, does not like all this. He is fraudulently forced to spend the night in the temple, but he meets Chöy, who advises him to sleep on the roof. Chung does this. At night, a coffin opens in the temple, and a walking corpse comes out in search of Chen, which is now on the roof. Chin, controlling the corpse, cannot find the Brave until the Brave breaks down. Jong hides under the coffin, but the corpse finds him, after which they fight, and Jong knocks the pursuer back into the coffin and closes the lid.
The chena is again being persuaded to spend the night in the temple, after which Cheeu advises to find fifty chicken eggs in order to throw them into the coffin later. However, the egg dealer sells Chen ten ten duck eggs interspersed with chicken eggs. That night, Jong begins to throw eggs in the coffin, which is why the corpse cannot get out of there. But when Jong throws a duck egg, the corpse manages to get out, so he splashes the dog’s blood onto the opponent, which is why Chin flies a few meters away and loses control of the corpse.
Jong returns to the city where the inspector arrests him for killing his wife. Chen is imprisoned, but he escapes from there, pretending to be sick. He avoids the guards and hides in the woods, where he stumbles on the coffin in which the corpse lies. Chon falls asleep next to the corpse, but accidentally awakens him. Then the evil forces force the corpse to attack Brave Chen and then pursue. Running away from the corpse through the woods, Chen almost crashes into the inspector and his people, but instead the corpse crashes into the representatives of the law, which gives Chen the time to escape.
Jong meets Chöy, who wants to take him as his student. The inspector sends people to arrest the fugitive, seeing how he and Chyu eat at the diner. Chinyu manages to control Chen's arm to beat the people around him, but Cheyu stops Chin in a fight, and he escapes. To help Chen, Cheyu uses magic to control the inspector’s people to beat the boss. Jong runs again. That night, Chin sends a vampire for Chen and Chew, but they deal with him. Chew draws Chen's body to protect Chin's magic. They go to Thama’s residence to challenge Chinю. Both sorcerers use magic to control their representatives. The monkey is inspired by chen. Two students Chinya fight with a rival to win. Chin instills the spirit of the god of swords in Tham, but Jong kills him. Then the two sorcerers vie with each other. Seeing that Chin can win, Jong cuts down Chin's tower, because of which he loses his balance, with the result that Chyuu succeeds in hitting Chin with his own fire. Chin burns. But Chew is badly wounded from Chin's magic and also dies. Chen's wife appears and tries to convince him that Tham was trying to rape her. However, Jong does not give in and beats up his wife.
