[ Story ]
This is a very sensitive and intriguing story filled with suspense and revealed through the checkered careers of two half-sisters each endowed with her own different character, one being good, and the other evil.
Tired of poverty, Keiko leaves home and soon takes a lover, but leads a wanton life without paying heed to his advice. However, the younger sister Yoshiko, is an innocent and kind girl.
One day, with the sudden death of their mother in a car accident, Keiko learns that she and Yoshiko are actually stepsisters, and that she is the daughter of a murderer. She now plans extortion from Yoshiko's true father who is the president of a well-known trading company. However, through dubious means, and although she tries to take the place of Yoshiko, on her wedding day all her plans erupt in violence and death.
