In a certain emerging industrial city Y in the Chubu region, Jiro Tezuka was employed at the Mishima Department Store. His catchphrase was, "I want to rise in rank. I want money." One day, he met a woman named Harumi who was working as a waitress at a drive-in. Knowing that she was looking for girls to accompany her at the bar "Sō," Jiro introduced Harumi to "Sō." Since "Sō" was managed by the president's daughter of Mishima Department Store, Saoko, Jiro intended to win Saoko's favor by introducing Harumi. Harumi began staying at Jiro's boarding house. At "Sō," there was a regular customer named Oka, the president of a foundry company. Due to poor business conditions, he often drank heavily to escape his worries. Jiro was asked by Saoko to drive Oka home, where he became acquainted with Oka's widowed eldest son’s wife, Yae. Thinking he could use her for his own purposes, he approached her. Harumi, unable to refuse Saoko's recommendation, was taken care of by Honda, an executive of an oil company. Jiro met Honda in her luxurious apartment, and the next day they went for a drive by the lakeside. Saoko was also present, but Jiro was pretending to be an engineer for her sake, which was soon peeled away. Jiro took revenge on Saoko by assaulting her on a boat in the lake. From that time on, a physical relationship continued with Saoko. Oka suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Jiro thought that if he could win Yae over, he would eventually own the foundry company too. He took Yae to a hot spring and made her promise to marry him. Harumi, who had become free since Honda was going to move back to the headquarters in Tokyo, said she could consider marrying Jiro. However, Jiro simply laughed at her. The foundry company of Oka was merged into the oil company due to deficits. For Jiro, Yae became nothing more than a burdensome baggage. In a fit of despair, he got into a fight with his superior over a minor argument and was fired from the department store. Late at night, a drunken Jiro was at "Sō." Saoko mocked him, saying, "You are a man who can only prey on women. That’s why I'll keep you in my hold for life." Jiro suddenly burst into laughter and continued to laugh endlessly.
