During the Japanese occupation, there lived a woman named An-hyub in Yong-dam Village. Her husband was a gambler who comes by every few months to change his clothes and pick up money. Still, she waits for her husband. She sells her body to the men of the village in exchange for rice and goods which she lived on. The only man she won't sleep with is a servant named Sam-dol. So when her husband returns, Sam-dol tells him about her loose behavior. However, Sam-bo, her husband, beats Sam-dol up instead and comforts his wife before leaving again. And An-hyub again waits for her husband, Sam-bo.
