Shinichi's friend Teruo and Hiroko are also in love but Hiroko's father, a doctor, is against their marriage, insisting that is unnatural from the medical view-point, because of their ages.

When their fathers go in search of them, they find their son and daughter sleeping in a bungalow by a lake and Hiroko's father is forced to agree to their marriage.
A dinner is given to announce their engagement at the restaurant of Shinichi's grandmother to which Shinichi and his parents are invited.

However, his stepmother Takako intervenes and explains how much his father regrets his past and how he loves him, and Shinichi's anger melts away.
