四川姑娘米香撫養著一個先天癡傻的九歲兒子，丈夫嫌棄兒子殘疾拋棄他們。為了傻兒子的將來，米香決定到北方煤礦村裡「嫁死」，等丈夫出事死了就可以得到一筆巨額賠款。她選中一個又醜又駝背叫王駝子的中年礦工，可誰知煤礦老是不出事，米香焦灼不安，於是把沾了經血的衛生巾埋到礦上咒他。沒想到礦上真的出事了，但米香也心碎了。
Young Mixiang is raising her retarded son by herself after being cruelly abandoned by her husband. Desolate, Mixiang listens to the girl from her hometown about an easy way to make money. As coal mines in the north are always having accidents, if she can marry a man who dies in a mine, she will receive a large sum of money in compensation. For her future and that of her son, Mixiang decides to marry for this "death dowry".
