So she decides she would start over, leaving her pimp (Franco Fabrizi) behind and trying to get a job, which is no easy task. No sooner has she found work in a factory than her former lover (who gave her a child who died when she was young: hence her longing to have another one) turns up.

This "slave to sin" (check the title) suffers, suffers and suffers; every time she seems to work it out, every time something happens.
