Bae Jeom-su, a servant of the prestigious Shin family, hates his father, who is loyal to the Shin family. When the Korean War breaks out, he takes the lead to accuse and punish the Shin family as reactionary. After the war is over, he relentlessly accumulates wealth and becomes the president of a large company. He hides his family’s servant past and reinvents himself as an independence activist and anti-communist fighter. However, when his ugly past is exposed, he dies painfully from the shock.
