Ikeda, whose direct superior has been promoted to a managing director with personnel authority, now finds himself in competition with his contemporary Kimura for the position of the next department head. Kimura, adept at currying favor, discreetly gains points with superiors through expensive gifts. Ikeda, lacking financial leeway, after much thought, devises a plan to entertain the philandering department head at his home and have his wife seduce him. His wife, feigning drunkenness, approaches the superior while her husband pretends to be asleep beside her. Sacrificing herself for her husband's sake, she succumbs to the superior's techniques, descending into pleasure and losing herself in her womanhood.
