Chun-ho, who became homeless due to poverty, beats his wife and kicks her out, telling her to bring home money. While looking for a way to earn some money, his wife sells her body to Yi, a rich man in her village. When Chun-ho learns about this, he dresses up his wife even prettier and sends her back to Yi to earn more money.
