Synopsis:

Yut Ho is a teenage girl who lives with her widowed mother in San Francisco Chinatown in the 1890s. Upon hearing that her mother is about to sell her to pay off her late father's gambling debt, she escapes to the Presbyterian Mission House, carrying a few treasured things in a silk handkerchief. Years later, the Mission Mother finds her a suitable Chinese man to marry. They stroll through the streets of Chinatown to 12 Bartlett Alley, which turns out to be a dimly-lit opium den. As they say in the Ballad of Portsmouth Square,". . .a Chinaman's luck is the Devil's own luck. . ."
