Plot
Bong-su (Kim Seung-ho) is a nave farmer. Although he works as hard as possible, he never gets to be better off. He even postpones his daughter Sun-i's marriage. Young-ho (Kim Jin-gyu), a son who comes home from military service, is in love with Ok-gyeong (Choi Eun-hee). She has grown up at Bong-su's, and works at the bar of Eok-jo's wife (Hwang Jeong-sun). Poverty-stricken, Bong-su is cajoled by Eok-jo, an usurer, into selling cattle and starts a used goods business to make money. But he is deprived of his money by a swindler (Noh Gyeong-hee) and his group in Seoul. One night Bong-su picks up some money Eok-jo drops while he is trying to rape Ok-gyeong. While Bong-su fights with Eok-jo, he kills him by accident. Ok-gyeong picks up the money, and gives some to Young-ho. With that money Ok-gyeong and Young-ho are about to be off to Seoul, but are caught by the police who are investigating Eok-jo's murder case. Convinced that they are murderers, the police put them in custody and send them to the police station by train. Bong-su follows the departing train, crying out that he is the murderer and that it should be him who should be arrested.
