The student Ryoichi believes that his sister moonlights from her office job to work as a translator. His girlfriend Harue learns from her brother, Officer Kinoshita, that the police suspect Chikako of illicit prostitution. Harue tells Ryoichi, and he is devastated. When Chikako returns that night, he slaps her furiously, ignorning her defense that she is sacrificing herself for his education. He dashes out into the night. Next morning, Chikako calls on Harue, neither has seen Ryoichi. Harue is summoned to a phone and told by Kinoshita that Ryoichi has killed himself. The two women weep over his body. Newspaper reporters who have investigated cynically dismiss the story.
