Only in the house of a sadistic gangster who has nothing to do. In this gangster's home, Ivey is like his hound, at the mercy of him, including to satisfy his habit of abusing young girls, Ivey can only succumb to helping him commit crimes to satisfy his hobby, although Ivey loves him deeply He, his fickle heart stings her heart repeatedly... The
film is inserted with the folk song "Lady D'Arbanville" by Cat Stevens. Behind this beautiful song, it is implied that what John really loves is The maiden he has been burying, not Evie, who loves him dearly, as the lyrics sing: I loved you my lady though in your grave you lie , this is the highlight of the film, and it is also the reason why Ivey finally killed him...
