Output (English): Wataru Hirayama Shin Saburi is a wealthy Tokyo businessman. When an old schoolmate Mikami Chishu Ryu approaches him for help concerning his daughter Fumiko Yoshiko Kuga, who has run off owing to a conflict with her father, he agrees. Finding her in a bar where she now works, he listens to her side of the story. Fumiko complains that her father is stubborn, insisting on arranging her marriage, whereas she has now fallen in love with a musician and is adamant to lead life her own way. One day during work, a young man named Masahiko Taniguchi Keiji Sada approaches Hirayama to ask for the hand of his elder daughter, Setsuko Ineko Arima. Hirayama is extremely unhappy that his daughter has made wedding plans on her own. He confronts her at home, during which he blows his top, and rules that she must remain locked at home until she sees the folly of her ways. Hirayama tries to find out more about Taniguchi from his subordinate. Owing to the standoff, his daughters friend Yukiko Fujiko Yamamoto tries a ruse in which she asks Hirayamas opinion concerning a similar situation – her mother forcing her to marry someone she didnt like. When Hirayama advises her to ignore her mother, Yukiko reveals it is all a setup and states that Hirayama has just given his consent to Setsukos marriage. Hirayamas wife Kiyoko Kinuyo Tanaka tries unsuccessfully to make him change his mind. She accuses her husband of being inconsistent. Even his younger daughter Hisako Miyuki Kuwano is on the side of her sister, finding her father too oldfashioned. Finally, after the couples insistence on getting married, Hirayama decides to give in by attending his daughters wedding. After the wedding, Mikami reveals that he, like Hirayama, has agreed to let his daughter select her own marriage partner. After going for a short business trip outside Tokyo, Hirayama decides to visit the newlyweds at Hiroshima by train, where Taniguchi is stationed by his company.
