Synopsis: Ramon (Nestor de Villa), a youthful shipping executive, goes to Japan for some business deals, returns and makes preparations for his forthcoming marriage to Dolores (Lourdes Medel), discovers that she is in love with his younger brother, Fred (Bernard Bonnin).

Although very much upset by the duplicity of the two, he paves a way to their marriage by marrying Julie (Charito Solis) himself--- she, the orphan who grew up with them under the protection of Ramon’s father. In one of the many spats between Dolores and her husband, she meets an accident and dies.

Ramon blames her death on his brother’s irresponsibility, decides to kill him, but in the attempt, Julie almost gets killed. The near-accident sobers him up, makes him realize he loves Julie, forgives his younger brother. (Source: Literary Song-Movie Magazine/ 1960)
