In this wartime story, heroine Kiriko tries to save her magazine-reporter husband, who has been falsely branded a communist, by submitting to the military police's cruel abuse. Chaste and fiercely devoted to him, she insists that they may defile her body but never her heart. Yet they repeatedly gang-rape her in front of her husband, breaking down both her body and spirit until she can no longer suppress the forced pleasure and passes out.
