Synopsis

College professor Jang Tae-yun and his wife Oh Seon-yeong live with their son Gyenog-su. To help the family's financial situation, Seon-yeong gets a job at a Western-style clothing store. One day, she runs into an old friend from school, Choi Yun-ju, on the street and ends up going to a dance party with her. Yun-ju, who insists that women should hold economic rights and know how to enjoy themselves, uses the funds collected through a private money pool among her friends to get in on a business involving contrabands. Seon-yeong becomes interested in her young neighbor Shin Chun-ho and begins to learn dancing from him. Professor Jang finds himself attracted to typist Miss Park, whom he has been teaching to write in Korean. Meanwhile, the owner of the clothing store, Han Tae-seok, approaches Seon-yeong with illicit intentions, and his wife sends Professor Jang a letter instructing him to keep Seon-yeong under lock and key.
