On the night of the Poo-yang dragonboat races in AD 699 a drummer in the leading boat collapses, and the body of a woman turns up in a country mansion. Judge Dee steps in to investigate the murders. He discovers that these two deaths are connected by an ancient tragedy involving a treasure stolen from the Imperial Harem one hundred years earlier.
