Akira Kanbara and Michiko Daimon are enjoying the races at a horse track in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. Over in the owner’s box, a woman in a luxurious fur is sipping champagne with a young man. The woman’s horse is disqualified after it gets in the way of the horse Michiko placed a bet on. Michiko ends up losing all her money and the woman’s horse suffers a life-threatening fracture.
