Bobby is a famous coronor who has written books that are used worldwide...
Flashback to the past...
Bobby lives in a small village where he has been given the nickname "coffin boy" because his mom gave birth to him in a coffin right before she died. The people in the village dislike him and think that he is bad luck. Therefore, he is given the job of announcing the time at night. Everyone tries to avoid his presence.
The village mayor, in particular, treats Bobby poorly and refused to grant him the plot of land that all the "Sung" males should receive when they reach 30 years old. No one would help Bobby except his best friends Michael and "Siu Chun". The mayor disliked Bobby so much that he ordered the new resting place to be built where Bobby's mom was buried. Therefore, her grave was dug up. Bobby was really angry and went to talk to the mayor. The two ended up fighting and the mayor was trying to beat Bobby up.
Jessica is a beggar/pick-pocket. She was just about to steal the mayor's money was Bobby arrived and started arguing with the mayor. Therefore, she was forced to postpone her plans again. Jessica realized that she dropped her jade necklace (something she's probably had since birth) so went looking for it and somehow got entangled in the fight. Frankie's parents also saw the 3fighting but they didn't want trouble so they quickly left the scene.
The mayor ends up dead and Bobby and Jessica are accused of the murder. They are taken into custody by the "cops" and on the way in the building, Bobby is struck by lightning and everyone thinks that he's dead so they take him to the morgue. The man who lives and works in the morgue "Gwai Suk" saves Bobby. Michael and "Siu Chun" find out that Bobby's still alive and plan to ask the new official to further investigate the case.
Frankie returns to the village as the new government official. However, he seems to have forgotten past habits and acts queerly. (I believe that he's not the real Frankie) Frankie promises to further investigate the case. Meanwhile, at the morgue, "Gwai Suk" and Bobby have found that the mayor has a tiny hole in his foot which could have been caused by a nail. They suspect that the mayor stepped on a dirty nail and died from an infection.
The mayor's wife comes to retrieve the body before further analysis can be done on the body.
They think of a plan to scare the mayor's wife into making her let the officials open up and look at the body again. Therefore, Bobby acts like a ghost and goes to see the mayor's wife saying that he's innocent (remember that no one except Bobby's 2 friends and Frankie and his team know that Bobby's alive).
Mariane comes home to see her father. Her dad works under Frankie. She works as a "cop" also but she was recently fired for failing to capture a top criminal.
Mariane accidentally finds Bobby and ties him up and brings him to see the villagers just as Frankie was about to order more tests to be done on the mayor's body to determine the real cause of his death. The mayor's wife is very angry but Frankie insists that the coffin be opened. They find that the mayor's body has rotted already.
Bobby is placed in jail again. He and Jessica cannot be saved. In anger, Jessica tries to strangle Bobby. Bobby's friends bring him lots of food the day before he is going to die. Jessica is alone in her cell. Mariane offers her some chicken, seeing that she's so lonely. Jessica apparently has no family.
Bobby is angry at Mariane because she captured him. Mariane cooked Bobby some fish which caused Bobby's lips to bloat. Because of this "Gwai Suk" realized that there is one more plan to save Bobby and Jessica...the fish's bones are still posioned which means the mayor's bones should also have poison...therefore they must boil the mayor's bones...
