The older brother has a relationship with a dancer at the bar who works with him. The dancer tries to marry him in any way, but he refuses to marry her in order to preserve the name of his family, especially as he sought not to involve his younger brother in his life of crime. The dancer feels humiliated and manages with her servant to entrap the younger brother and make him addicted to drugs to exact revenge against the elder brother. When the older brother realizes the conspiracy, he tries to cure his brother of his addiction, and inform the police about the gang. They all get arrested, including himself.
