Synopsis: A romantic film about three couples, each in love, set against the backdrop of the business of the Atsumi family, owners of the textile company Atsumi Shokai, and Fujimura, an investor in theatres and railways. Yukio, the eldest son of the Atsumi family, is a scholarly anthropologist who is attracted to Tokiko, the eldest daughter of the Fujimura family, a modern girl with an education, but she is naive.

The Atsumi family’s second son, Tetsuya, studied theatre in Paris, and after returning to Japan, became the director of reviews for the Toyo Theatre, owned by the Fujimura family. Tetsuya becomes friends with Miyoko Tsuda, Tokiko’s sister from her school days and the theatre’s lighting director. However, Tetsuya clashes with Fujimura, the owner of the theatre, who pressures him to cut production costs, and Kawamura, a shady businessman who comes in as manager, and quits the theatre with Miyoko.

On the other hand, Tokiko’s younger brother Shigeru is in love with Kikue, a maid, but their parents find out and Kikue is sent back to her hometown.
