Synopsis

Komajuro (Ganjiro Nakamura) leads a traveling acting troupe that performs cut-rate kabuki in the provinces. His mistress, Sumiko, is loyal to him, as are the other veteran actors. The troupe arrive to a town on the seaside. Komajuro goes to visit a woman who runs a saki bar. Her name is Oyoshi (Haruko Sugimura), and years earlier she bore the actor's son. He is now a handsome young man named Kiyoshi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi), who works in the post office, and has been told that Komajuro is his uncle. The old actor is proud of his son, but embarrassed to admit his parentage. He wants to keep the secret, but Sumiko discovers it.
