This paper studied the periodic orbits, manifolds and chaos in a rotating plane-symmetric potential field. It is found that the dynamical behaviour near the equilibrium point is totally decided by the structure of the submanifolds and subspaces near the equilibrium point. The non-degenerate equilibrium points are classified into twelve cases. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the linearly stable, non-resonant unstable and resonant equilibrium points are established. Furthermore, it is found that the resonant equilibrium point is a Hopf bifurcation point which leads to the chaotic motion near the resonant equilibrium point; it is found the appearing and disappearing of periodic orbit families near resonant equilibrium points with parametric variation. Besides, it is discovered that the number of periodic orbit families depends on the structure of the submanifolds. In the end, the theory developed here is applied to two particular cases, the rotating homogeneous cube and the circular restricted three-body problem.
