Plot

As described in a film magazine,[3] Kara Tamura (Hayakawa), a humble worker studying landscape gardening, and Shiro Watana (Aoyama), a trusted clerk, live together in San Francisco. Watana sends for his wife Sat-u (Aoki) and children from Japan, and Tamura dreams of the day when he will have enough money to marry Nume Rogers, a teacher at a nearby kindergarten. Watana is mysteriously murdered. Sat-u arrives and Tamura takes her into his home. Meddlesome neighbors compel Tamura to marry Sat-u, and Nume, heartbroken, accepts the offer of a wealthy man to cultivate her voice as an opera singer. Three years pass and Sat-u is fatally ill. Before she dies, she explains to Nume Tamura's reason for marrying her. Watana's uncle places his property in Tamura's hands for his sacrifice, and Nume and Tamura are reunited.

Cast
gollark: Wow, my private data harvesting was REMARKABLY successful.
gollark: Unlikely, even the voice audiosource bit is synchronous.
gollark: I have various choices:- copy-paste internal API code, make async, use- reimplement internal API asynchronously (unlikely)- make it somehow wait for the asynchronous thing synchronously?
gollark: Oh dear, I think this is some undocumented internal API. It's not even async.
gollark: Why does discord.py contain its own OGG parser? I mean, it's helpful, but still.
