The mayor’s secretary, Yazaki, is hounded. Yazaki has been wondering about something the mayor had abruptly said to him while observing a classic concert. “I wish to skip tomorrow’s session because I suddenly recalled something I have to do.” Furthermore, he had called the hot spring resort he was headed to “Shimagawa Onsen”, which made Yazaki suspect that it was not his first time going to that town. With the help of the mayor’s housekeeper, Tezuka Sumiko (Baisho Mitsuko), Kasagi who doubts that his strait-laced uncle would have excused himself from work for a private matter, cleans up the belongings in his room after his death. That is when Kasagi finds a diary and learns from its contents that his uncle was besotted with a woman called Fujishima Yoshiko (Kimura Tae)! Is there a connection between the details in the diary and his uncle’s disappearance?
