The story opens in 1933. Yukie (Setsuko Hara) is the daughter of a leftist professor at Kyoto University. Her father is forced into retirement by the increasingly repressive government and the students protest for academic freedom.
Yukie is torn between two prospective suitors among the student protestors: Noge (Susumu Fujita) leads the revolt and is sent to prison, while Itokawa (Akitake Kono) gives up the fight and returns to school, eventually becoming a prosecuting attorney. Yukie is repulsed by how easily Itokawa sells out his ideals, moves to Tokyo alone and is finally reunited with Noge. They become lovers, but the outbreak of World War II marks the end of their happiness.
