This is the big one. An all-star extravaganza beyond any that's come before. Featuring
virtually all the greatest actors from Toei Studios, comes a tale of violence and intrigue
among the traveling gamblers in old Japan. While on the road, famed Yakuza Boss Jirocho
is falsely accused of starting a peasant's uprising and chased by the law.
Mean-while, one
of his henchmen in an attempt to raise money for the Boss gambles away not only all their
funds, but their clothing as well. Jirocho, famed for his honesty and integrity must take on
the challenge of rival gangs while trying to elude the government's officials at the same
time.
Things really heat up when the most famous of all Yakuza Bosses, Chuji of Kunisada
gets involved. Will he team up with his old friend or is gang warfare about to erupt?
