Young Xiao Shitou digs the earth and unearths a talking Wealth God. After going through hardships to send the Wealth God to East Mountain, he is gifted seven divine gourds. The gourds can relieve distress and save emergencies, but are seized by the villain Zhou Wancai to recklessly gather wealth. The ink-patterned gourd awakens and takes back the greedily obtained items, and the Wealth God enlightens everyone. Xiao Shitou keeps firmly in mind "can relieve emergencies, cannot nurture greed", using the divine gourd to protect his fellow villagers.
