It has owner of a geisha brothel, Miss Osaki (Chieko Naniwa) or "Mistress" calling up a doctor, Dr. Kenji Matoba (Tomoemon Otani) to do a check up on her college graduated daughter, Yukiko Mabuchi (Yoshiko Kuga) as she took a bunch of sleeping pills giving her mom the indication she was trying to commit suicide as a result of a break up of a boyfriend. And we find out the reason Yukiko's boyfriend broke up with her because of her mother's profession of owning a brothel and is embarrassed by it.
