Man-li, Xiu-zhen, and Chun-mei leave Xiangshan for Taipei, each seeking love, money, or stability. Before reaching the city, they encounter predatory men; in Taipei, work, wealth, and intimacy draw them into danger. Blending sexploitation with female-centred melodrama, the film maps migration as a gendered terrain of desire and exploitation. Dynamic staging and music create an atmosphere at once lively and perilous. Yu Han-hsiang later reworked the story for Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong.
