The newlywed couple, Makinobu, received a request from Makino's father-in-law, Masayoshi, who had lost his wife, to live together. Hiroshi, the husband, opposed living with his father, who had neglected his family and gone out playing, but since Makino had lost her father at a young age, she insisted on cohabitation, and so their life together began. One night, after a quarrel with her husband, when Makino tried to return to her parents' home, Masayoshi gently persuaded her. Once Makino started to depend on him, Masayoshi's attitude changed drastically.
