A terrible burden is her father who once tried to sell her into a brothel to meet his drinking debts.
Fate, however, binds her to Morino, a young man who is her patron's private secretary. Thus her torture and anguish increase day by day. One night, in self-defense, Morino fatally stabs the delinquent son of his boss with a large switch-blade knife _
Sonoko is led towards committing suicide. But the trail leads nowhere and once again Fate deserts her.
