Rahimah is forced into prostitution by her stepfather. While she solicits at a bar, it is raided by the police. Rahimah escapes capture thanks to Nor, a sympathetic policeman who takes her into his home. A romance soon blossoms between them, and they yearn for a new life together. However, Rahimah is haunted by her past, and she lives in fear of her stepfather catching up to them.

Aku Mahu Hidup was digitally restored in 2019 using the sole surviving 16mm release print from the Asian Film Archive’s Cathay-Keris Malay Classics Collection.
