Chike (Sam Dede) and Zizi’s (Tonto Dikeh) marriage is thrown into disarray because of Zizi’s refusal to follow her husband’s orders to not wear make up and what he considers to be provocative clothing. He is fed up of men harassing her because of her looks and dress and thus wants her to downplay her beauty. At first Zizi agrees with her husband’s proposal, but then later reneges on the agreement that they made.

Zizi refuses to go out looking like a “village wife.” At his wit’s end Chike shreds all of her clothes and lunges at his wife physically and verbally abusing her. It all gets too much and Zizi seeks refuge in the house of Ruby (Stephanie Oforka) a woman that she met one day on the side of the road on another occasion where she was being attacked by her husband.
