At Sizzling Steak, Louise, a new waitress, noticed Higashi, a middle-aged Japanese tourist dressed in a kimono and overcoat, enter the restaurant. Struggling with English, Higashi requested a steak and rice bowl. Louise explained they didn’t serve rice bowls and offered fries instead, which Higashi accepted.
As Louise prepared to clear a half-eaten steak from the counter, Andy, a seasoned waiter, stopped her. “Serve it to him,” Andy insisted, referring to Higashi. Despite Louise’s protests about serving cold food, Andy pressured her, dismissing the situation by saying, “He can’t even speak English; he won’t know the difference.” Higashi, realizing the meal wasn’t what he ordered, objected but was rudely dismissed by Andy, who made racist remarks.
Seeing an opportunity, Andy devised a plan to swindle Higashi further. He spilled sake on Higashi’s coat, pretending to offer help by cleaning it, only to steal money from its pockets. Louise, appalled by Andy’s actions, decided to take matters into her own hands. She retrieved the stolen money and used a translator app to explain the situation to Higashi, returning his cash discreetly.
The situation escalated when a police officer arrived, prompted by Andy’s false accusations against both Louise and Higashi. Andy produced a video showing Louise taking money, but Higashi revealed his identity as a journalist and provided evidence that the money was his. The officer confirmed the truth, leading to Andy’s arrest.
In a twist of fate, Higashi offered Louise a job opportunity in New York, recognizing her bravery and honesty, leaving her with a promising future.
