[ Story ]

A young girl asks a prominent lawyer to defend her brother who has been unjustly accused of a crime. He refuses, however, and the innocent boy is executed. Now the girl decides on revenge and this she achieves, first by finding evidence that the lawyer's mistress is involved in a murder, then by making the lawyer sleep with her, getting written proof the next morning that she has been attacked, and using all of this information to finally and completely ruin him.
