Plot: Kobe, the father of Miro, is a grouch. Miro is beloved of Osaka, a poor man, whose suit is rudely rejected by Kobe, who, in a drunken orgy, offers his daughter to the highest bidder among his friends. She is won by Okyto, a rich profligate, who takes her away with him to his summer palace, refusing to allow even her faithful servant, Suzi, to accompany her. Suzi tells Osaka of the marriage, and when he attempts to speak with her, he is rudely beaten off by Okyto's attendants. Osaka then goes' to Kobe and tells him that if harm comes to his daughter Miro, his life shall pay the forfeit. After reaching the palace with her husband, Okyto, Miro is treated shamefully. On one occasion, she is rudely pushed aside in favor of geisha girl. Miro flees into the garden and drops unconscious, where she is found by Suzi. Okyto presently seeks her and again handles her roughly. Osaka sees him, forces his way into the palace grounds, approaches him and a terrific struggle takes place between the two men. Osaka is victorious and leaves Okyto bleeding upon the ground. He then picks up Miro and carries her off, tries to revive her, and being unable to do so, be leaves her in the care of Suzi and goes to wreak his vengeance upon Kobe, whom he kills. While Osaka is away, Nikko, a peddler, whom he has befriended, comes op and by means of a powerful elixir, to which he holds the secret, restores Miro to consciousness. When Osaka returns, he is overjoyed and departs with Miro, Suzi and Nikko, to find a new home in the fertile valleys of Nippon.
