Towards the end of the Showa era, Wako, the number one hostess working at a snack bar, gets into an accident and wakes up in Kabukicho in the Reiwa era. She is scouted and starts working at a cabaret club. She teaches the unprofessional cabaret girls of today about the determination and sex appeal of a woman, and aims to become the top again herself. Starring the dynamite and beautiful-bodied Kyoko Maki!
