Mr. Wu marries, but his wife dies in childbirth after delivering a daughter, Nang Ping.A couple more decades pass and Nang Ping is now a lovely young woman (Renee Adoree). Mr. Wu has, in accordance with custom, found a young man to join his daughter in an Arranged Marriage.

Basil asks Nang Ping to marry him, but when Mr. Wu finds out what has happened, he takes a terrible revenge.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Anna May Wong has a supporting role as Loo Song, Nang Ping's companion.

 Died Standing Up: Wu dies holding a large scimitar that props him up when his body crumples. Mr. Muir the tutor then strolls in, slaps Wu on the back, and is shocked to see Wu tumble to the ground.
