In an art academy that serves as a screen for a strip club, a pimp falls in love with one of the prostitutes, but she sells herself to a rich man.

To prevent a politician from winning, a journalist blackmails his wife with old love letters from his former lover. She feels cornered because her family's honor is at stake. The film includes excerpts from "Sappho, Story of a Passion" (1943), a film by Carlos Hugo Christensen.
