1972, Japanese. Directed by Kazuo Ikehiro.
Thirsting for revenge, Jokichi rashly attempts to assassinate the evil Chogoro but ends up being captured by yakuza. His life is spared by Boss Juzaburo, in order that the harmony of an important commemoration not be further disturbed.

The tragic consequences of this assignment will lead him into a deadly trap and a final confrontation with Chogoro.
