Beginning:
A guy lives at the foot of a hill. One day, from a newspaper, he came to know
about his rich neighbor who lives in a Chinese traditional style big house,
who has a very nice and priceless bell. He is so interested to get it very
much that he plans to steal it.
Body / Climax:
Camera zoom out, the guy slips into the big house at mid-night. He sneaks
around in the house. There, he finds the bell, hanging above the table. He
moves towards to steal the bell, but finds it big and heavy. He cannot carry
it back home. Then he brings out a hammer and tries to break it into pieces
and carry it back. But when the hammer touches the bell, it gives off a very
big ringing. The big ringing horrified the guy and he runs away to his home.
But on his way back, he slips over something and rolls down to the foot of
the hill.
When he finally reaches home, he started to think of the reason he fails.
The reason of failure is the big ringing of the bell! However, he realized
that when he plugs his ears, then the ringing would disappear.
The camera cut to another scene, he goes into the house again, put on an earphone,
with a crafty smile on the face. He starts to beat the bell using a hammer.
He thinks no sound can be heard again. But, when he is busy beating the bell
to pieces, he realized something is wrong around him.
Ending / Conclusion:
He saw shadows around him. At that time he realized that everyone knew he
is stealing the bell because they heard the loud noise produced by his hammering,
except himself.
The final shot is he was caught in prison.
