Spoiler shield

Jun Aisaka seduces one woman after another. His victims were flirtatious married woman Noriko, student Keiko, widow Mitsuko and dancer Rumi. As a result, he ends up in prison, but after escaping with another prisoner, he continues his criminal adventures with a partner. It is clear that this will not end well. Moreover, a couple of detectives are already on the trail of the criminals.
