Mi Thein Kywe, a simple girl, lives in a small village. She is an orphan and is brought up by a distant aunt for whom she has to sell fish. One day a rich university student passes through the village and falls in love with her. He promises her the earth, but when his parents turn up, they buy her off with minor compensation. Later the girl marries a rich ex-monk who dies of a heart-attack after six months. Then she buys a restaurant and falls in love with the musician Ko Thet. This relationship runs aground too. As Mi Thein Kywe gets richer, her need for a suitable spouse grows too. Will she find one?
