A robbery murder of an old moneylender woman occurs in the countryside of Kyushu, and Kiriko Yanagida's older brother, Masao, is arrested as a suspect and brought to justice. Masao is the first discoverer, who borrows money from the victim, and although the situation is overwhelmingly disadvantageous to him, he still pleads not guilty to murder. Kiriko goes to Tokyo and asks Kinzo Otsuka, a well-known attorney from her hometown, to defend her brother, but he refuses.[3][7]
