Lord Taksin (Jarun Ngandee), who leads the Attunaya in their war against the Ang-Wa, falls in love with beautiful Mittaya (Thidarat Jandara) in a city he has just conquered, & since she seems to share his feelings, he takes her with him when he decides to take the coastal city Chantaboon next. However, the way to Chantaboon is dangerous indeed, & full of traps set by the Ang-Wa, & when Taksin's army gets into an ambsh, he asks his 2 top fighters Laung Phichai (Prabadhon) & Laung Prom (Siriwat Chiwasut) to bring lady Mittaya to safety. When Laung Phichai & Laung Prom meet up with Lord Taksin again, the woman is gone, killed by Laung Phichai.

Lord Taksin asks Laung Prom to tell him how it happened: Laung Prom tells of a stranger, Yord (Nirut Saosutchat) , who saved their lives once & offered his services to them & their master, & Laung Phichai & laung Prom accepted, knowing they would need a companion on their perilous journey. On their further way, Mittaya suddenly showed amourous avances towards Laung Prom, who refused her though, wanting to stay loyal to his master. However Yord it seemed was not so resistant, & when Laung Phichai caught them making love, he beheaded them both.

Laung Phichai tells the story a little differently. According to him, Mittaya also tried to chat him up & in doing so told him she was a spy for the Ang-Wa. Laung Phichai however refused her advances, but when he saw her making love to Yord, he killed the pair of them, thinking them both traitors.

Lord Taksin still is not content & calls in a third witness: Yord, who is not dead at all but came to Taksin to prove his loyalty, & he tells about Mittaya's efforts to sleep with pretty much everybody in sight, & how valiantly he resisted her ... until she caught him off guard, which was exactly the moment Laung Phichai caught them & he beheaded that treacherous bitzch, but spared Yord's life since Yord once saved his.

Seeing that all three men have acted as loyal as could be, Taksin forgives them for killing his girl, & together with them he has soon conquered Chantaboon.

 

A nicely filmed but utterly unremarkable variation on Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, that pretty much turns its source into a celebration of heroism, loyalism &, let's face it, chauvinism.
