After her father (Shing Fui-on) is arrested and her mother (Chiao Chiao) is hospitalized with a heart ailment, pretty Mandy (Sharla Cheung Man) becomes a nightclub hostess in order to support her younger sister and pay for the operation their mom gravely needs. She learns the ropes from Hung (Cherie Chung Cho-hung), a seasoned B-Girl with a facial scar, whose excessive drinking periodically lands her in the hospital. The two become close friends, watching out for each other, while dealing with jealous co-workers and sleazy guests (including Wong Jing, Billy Lau Nam-kwong, Stanley Fung Shui-fan, and Nat Chan Pak-cheung). When Hung loses all of her money in the 1988 stock market crash, she attempts suicide but is saved by Mandy's intervention. In order to help her, Mandy agrees to sleep with gangland boss Tong Pun (Paul Chun Pui), despite the fact that he and his men had previously raped Hung. Tong also refused to compensate Mandy's family when her dad was imprisoned, after trying to collect from one of Tong's debtors. When Mandy's father gets out of jail and discovers what has transpired, all hell breaks loose.

While Manfred Wong's screenplay makes token attempts to present the life of HK clubgirls with a smidgen of verisimilitude, this is an exploitation movie first and foremost. On that level, it succeeds, thanks largely to an excellent performance by Cherie Chung and an effective one by Sharla Cheung (both in roles of greater depth than they are usually allotted). As the affluent villain ("You poor people dare struggle with me?!"), Paul Chun adds plenty of color with one of his customarily vivid characterizations. The violent finale is predictable but highly satisfying on an emotional level, which is where the film works best anyway. Maria Cordero (as the ladies’ mamasan), Teresa Carpio, Wu Ma, Fanny Sit Chi-lun, and Lam Chung are also featured.
