Three Knocks at Midnight

A graduate struggles in the city and works at a spicy hot pot shop. Desperate after being humiliated and fearing dismissal, he sets the shop ablaze, killing the owner’s family including an infant. He suppresses the memory, only to be haunted by their charred ghosts. Fleeing fails, so he seeks help from a Taoist priest. Regaining his memory, he tries to frame the priest. His trick is exposed. Wounded, he confesses to police and is arrested.
