Sachiko Chiba sells beer at a railroad station. Two young men are in love with her. One of them sells ice cream at the same station. He wants to marry her and open a beer hall. The other is a music student who has just sold his first song.We get to hear that song a lot.There are also a couple of shady characters who wander in and out of the movie, solely to make things happen. My sense of the essential plotlessness of this one might be due to its being a B movie, with an editor cutting out random bits simply to make it short enough so that the theaters can get in another show that day. However, I have seen enough very old Japanese movies to be convinced that often plot drives character in the national cinema, and not the other way around.That being noted, it doesn't mean it's a good idea. This one looks like an RKO piece from the era, with Art Moderne sets that are clearly staged, as well as sequences where people move very strangely in some variation of stage convention. If it had been an American B, it would have been carried solely on the charms of its leads, and they certainly seem like engaging people with understandable dreams, even if how they achieve them makes little sense.
