action
Burma, a girl with poor character, is invited to a party where, in addition to alcoholic beverages, she is also offered marijuana . After consuming it, the teenagers immediately lose all inhibitions and feel compelled to bathe naked, in the course of which Burma is made pregnant by her boyfriend, while one of the girls drowns, deprived of his senses by the devil drug.
The young people do not want to face the consequences of the incident and resolve to deny all knowledge of the girl's death. When Burma reveals her pregnancy to her boyfriend, the latter forces her to marry him.
Since marijuana has corroded his sense of responsibility, Burma's boyfriend decides to support his girlfriend financially through criminal activities. He contacts the arch-criminals who organized the drug party and offers himself to them to unload marijuana shipments. He soon had to pay for this crime when he died in a hail of bullets from the police who bravely defended the city against drugs.
After the death of her boyfriend, Burma is forced to put her child up for adoption and to trade in marijuana itself. The gateway drug, marijuana, leaves her no other choice than to quickly take heroin intravenously. Since Burma has freed itself so completely from all moral fetters, she kidnaps her sister's adopted daughter and then, to her horror, realizes that it is her own daughter.
