| Summary |
In this Jamaican melodrama, single mother Marcia works as a street vendor to support her two daughters. However, she also needs the financial assistance of "Uncle" Larry, who demands repayments in the form of sex with Marcia's teen daughter Tanya. After Marcia's vending stall is threatened by brutal thug Priest, she devises a retaliatory plan. The dressmaker Mrs. Gordon sews a sexy costume so Marcia can compete for the cash prize in the Dancehall Queen contest. When no one recognizes her in this outfit, she uses the disguise to pit Priest and Larry against each other. |
