The Laughing Salesman

Moguro offers to protect the married celebrity Mizuno Shouhei who is photographed while dating a young idol from the same agency. He sends the elderly fixer Uma to deal with the photographer. However, Mizuno gets into trouble again and Moguro agrees to help only if he stops his philandering and cherishes his wife Taeko. Mizuno soon falls for Keiko, a woman in a bar and divorces Taeko to demonstrate his love. However, when he proposes to Keiko, she rejects him and reveals that she's the elder sister of a woman who committed suicide after Mizuno rejected her. Uma then presents Mizuno with many incriminating photographs to blackmail him.
