A young woman lives in squalor in the seediest part of the city. Her brother has fallen in love with a harlot and he is willing to do anything to get her. She has no interest in him and his obsession puts him in grave danger. He takes advantage of his sister who is kind and tries to understand what is going on. At one point he is blinded. She deals with the horrors as he slowly regains his eyesight. She can't pay her rent and is at the mercy of her landlord. She is making a dress to get some money. The brother takes it and gives it to that woman. A man tears it to pieces. This is an ugly, sad, naturalistic film.
