Synopsis

David is a young country hick who leaves his small home town to seek fame and fortune in the city. He falls in with rough companions, who introduce him to nights of bawdy revelry in which ladies play strip poker, men dress as chorus girls, and sexual orgies take place on the floor. David, disgusted with his new life, decides to return to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart, Mary. However, David has contracted syphilis and must seek medical attention from a quack doctor, who bleeds him for money. When David protests, the doctor shows him a photograph of diseased genitals. Some time later, Mary is taken to the hospital to give birth to their child, but must undergo a Caesarian section because she too has contracted the disease.
