At a dance hall run by underworld boss Sagawa, his junior associate Keita Numazaki (Masayuki Mori) is seen without power. He is the fruit of a young officer who once overflowed with bloodlust and assassinated a senior officer. In the same hall, Takako ( Yamaguchi Yoshiko ), a dancer who has experienced all the depravity of life, is working. Her only emotional support is her desire for revenge against the man who killed her father. Unaware that they are avenging and being avenged, the two become attracted to each other. Is this another tragedy born of war? The staff of the masterpiece "The Anjo Family Ball," led by the genius director Yoshimura, have once again come together to produce this ambitious epic. The film features rich, true-to-life performances by the bewitching Yamaguchi Yoshiko and the intelligent Mori Masayuki.
