The Chusul clan, outlaws who rob corrupt officials and give what they take to the hungry, holds its cause above the lives of its members. Dol Mo-chi is a poor butcher. Jo Yoon, a young nobleman, offers him a hefty sum to kill a young woman, and Mo-chi cannot do it; he lets her go. The next night his house is set alight with him and his family locked inside.
