Synopsis

Kyohei, owner of the private club "Black Rose," hires Ryuko, a mysterious woman whose popularity immediately increases the club's business. Several men claiming to be Ryuko's lovers appear, only to meet violent and inexplicable deaths. Kyohei's obsessive love for Ryuko is complicated by the return of his gangster son, Wataru, who also falls under the mysterious woman's spell. Persuading Ryuko to leave with him, Wataru plans a robbery to raise the needed expenses and is wounded during the attempt. Kyohei pleads with his son to be reasonable, but to no avail. As Wataru and Ryuko set out to sea in a motorboat, they collide with a ship and both are drowned. Kyohei is left alone in his club.
