Directed by: SAWASHIMA Tadashi

The action begins at Karasuyama in the beautiful Shimotsuke Province, as this
exciting and romantic tale unfurls with the joining of two of Japan's major stars, the
ever-popular Misora Hibari and handsome screen idol Hayashi Yoichi (best known in
the west as Yagyu Gumbei in the 4th Baby Cart movie).
When Sir Saeki kills his father,
Sentaro takes up arms and cuts him down. Sentaro, a commoner, was taught
swordsmanship by Sir Ittosai, a master martial artist, and must take to the road after
the incident. The fireworks truly begin when he meets Oshima, a singer from the Juzo
Troupe with a drinking problem. This movie excellent movie is clearly a cut above the
rest with some of the finest acting and action yet from Toei Studios.
