This many-layered mystery is only one of several crime-laced dramas by the great (if still largely unheralded) director Yoshitarô Nomura. Newlywed bride Teiko Uhara sees her husband Kenichi off on a business trip and then eagerly anticipates his return so they can start their new life. But Kenichi mysteriously vanishes and, when the police move too slowly, resourceful and tenacious Teiko begins her own investigation.
