=======================================================================

Synopsis: Vilma Santos plays a devious and power-mad wife of an equally contemptuous mayor (Eric Quizon). While riding high on the crest of power, Vilma tries to ruin the lives of a married couple, Snooky Serna and Gabby Concepcion. Snooky is Vilma’s distant cousin while Gabby is her former flame.

While making it appear that she’s sincere in helping bail Gabby out of his financial troubles, she also tries to lure her ex-boyfriend back into her arms. At first, she is successful at snaring back Gabby--- but only for one brief sexual encounter. The more serious complications set in only when Vilma’s resident lover, Dennis Roldan, attempts to blackmail her about their love affair.

Trying to get herself out of that fix, she sets a ploy that would permanently eliminate Dennis. As partof her plan, she sends Dennis to molest Snooky hoping that the poor woman would defend herself by shooting Dennis with the gun Vilma gave her earlier.

However, this does not work out exactly as planned since it is Gabby who gets to kill Dennis. Instead of making Gabby turn himself in, Vilma encourages him to hide from the police in the hope that he agree to run off with her to some faraway place.

But eventually Vilma realizes that he cares not for her but for Snooky. To show her repentance, she arranges for his peaceful surrender to the police. An unfortunate twist takes place when Gabby is shot dead by an assassin hired by Eric. He wants to punish his wife for her indiscretions. Vilma gets even with him by having him convicted.
