Next time you're having a bad day, just remember: It could ALWAYS be worse! Just look at the case of Marni. For starters, she gets gang raped by some thugs at a campground. And then she goes home to be comforted by her caring boyfriend, who recently confessed his love and took her virginity, only to find him in bed with another woman. When she starts acting out, her parents hand her over to an uncle who also rapes her. She miscarries shortly after finding out she's pregnant and is finally put out of her misery after her rapists murder her and then toss her body in a lake. Unfortunately, in death the poor girl can't even rest in peace and she returns as a vengeance-seeking ghost because her body wasn't properly buried. Now that you know all about Marni, don't you feel better?

Spoof based (loosely) on an old Indonesian film, which has had the old foreign soundtrack removed and replaced by an over-dubbed English track. Central character is a female wrestler who has decided that she no longer wants to wrestle, but whose mother (a former wrestler herself) wants her to keep wrestling to make money so her brother can have the operation (his seminal vessels run to his skull, rather than his groin, which purportedly will cause his head to explode if he gets too excited). During the course of her story (in which a number of brawls ensue), she is befriended by a Elvis-impersonating martial artist. This recut/redubbed version is 72 minutes long.

Drawing from the novel, lenong (play) and the previous film (Njai Dasima I), this new film version has heightened erotic scenes considered the boldest for its time. But as mentioned by the director, the eroticism is meant to reveal the psychological aspects of the characters. Unlike the previous version, that mainly highlights conflict between love and witchcraft, this one features social and psychological conflicts. For example, how Dasima feels like an outsider with Edward Williams’s friends, or how she prefers leaving their house to live with her maid in the village. It also shows more background of the Samiun and Hayati characters - Samiun is a black market trader with a lot of debts and Hayati is a woman obsessed with gambling to get rich. When his debts are due and he is unable to pay, Samiun asks his friend, Puasa, to “rob” him while he is returning to their village with Dasima.
