A Chinese-Malay girl from Penang arrives in Kuala Lampur to work at her aunt's modest food stall, only to be drawn into the dangerous world of prostitution as a result of naiveté and misunderstanding.
Ah Peng is from the provinces, and she isn't familiar with life in the big city. Upon arriving in Penang, the innocent
Ah Peng shows little interest in exploring her new urban environment, instead remaining fixated on her work and her growing relationship with kindly younger cousin
Mei. One day, while venturing into a public telephone booth to check in with her family and friends back home,
Ah Peng catches the eye of
John. Despite
Ah Peng's claims of a boyfriend back home,
John is relentless in his pursuit of the young girl. Eventually,
Ah Peng gives in to her tenacious suitor. When
John describes to
Ah Peng precisely what being a pimp entails, the country girl seems completely oblivious to the point he is attempting to make. Later, when
John disappears,
Ah Peng's fate becomes sealed by grim circumstance.
