It tells the story of Muen, the daughter of Ket and Nuen, who worked as a gardener in Bang Muang, Nonthaburi.
While the plaintiff and defendant were in court, Muen was detained in the prison of the Nonthaburi governor's residence and was subjected to various forms of abuse by Phamaran, who was bribed by Phu, in an attempt to force Muen to consent to become Phu’s wife.
Muen eventually escaped from prison and submitted a petition to King Rama IV at the Suthaisawan Throne Hall on Sunday, December 10, 1865.
