A young tax collector is posted to a small town. He starts to reside in an abandoned old palace which is rumoured to be haunted. Local people try to warn him that whoever has attempted to stay there has either gone mad or died because the stones of the building are hungry. He realizes that a mysterious beautiful lady roams around the building at night.
