A poor student fights for the love of his life against a nefarious bandit

Trùm Sò is a satirical period comedy set in the remote Jellyfish Village, where poverty is widespread—except for one man. Trùm Sò is absurdly rich yet notoriously stingy, obsessed with money to the point of denying himself even the simplest pleasures. His tightly controlled world collapses when a large amount of his gold suddenly disappears. Driven by greed rather than reason, he is pulled into a chaotic heist alongside two unlikely allies: Thị Hến, a sharp-witted widow, and Tôm Hùm, a flamboyant drifter.

A butler of a wealthy family in Saigon is tasked with bringing food and clothes to the eldest daughter who contracted leprosy and is locked in a room for years, but he soon suspects there is more to the story.

Advised by a blind fortune teller, Snail the Burglar steals from the estate of Master Cockle and sells the lootings to the young widow Miss Mussels. When an infuriated Master Cockle later traces his lost possessions to Miss Mussels' house, he drags her to the Court for a trial - but the odds turn out to be against his favour as the Court's Prefect becomes deeply infatuated with Miss Mussels.
