Ah Ying (Chen Ping) is a former gangster trying to lead an honest life, and occasionally using her fighting skills to help out the girls in the factory where she now works. She befriends young colleagues Chong Lee and Shao Yin-Yin, teaching them self defence because "girls can't be weak anymore". Trouble starts when her old gang finds out where she now works.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chen Ping was Shaw Brothers' 'Queen of Exploitation'—this was her rare bid for respectability while still delivering the violence audiences demanded.
Sun Chung filmed the factory scenes in an actual operating facility; workers thought the crew was making a documentary, not watching their lives get dramatized for pulp thrills.
