She attempts several times to escape his control, but all her efforts fail. When her son reaches school age, she does not want him to miss the opportunity for education due to their financial struggles, so she continues to earn money with her body. To save some of her limited income secretly from the hoodlum, she keeps it hidden. When her identity is discovered by a classmate's parent, a coalition pressures the school to expel the "prostitute's child" in order to maintain academic integrity. The principal learns of the woman's hardships through home visits and decides to allow her son to continue his education. However, the individual's strength is too weak, and the school board ultimately decides to expel him. To keep her child in school, the woman goes to retrieve her hard-earned savings for a fresh start, only to find that the hoodlum has stolen her money and gambled it all away...
