In 17th‑century Edo, marauding hatamoto bands terrorize the city. Their leader, Mizuno Jirozaemon, a high‑ranking samurai crippled by debt, sparks a tragedy that shakes the streets. Opposing him is Banzui‑in Chobei, the ‘Protector of the Weak,’ who risks everything to defend Edo’s districts from the violent hatamoto. Featuring silent‑era icons Bando Tsumasaburo and Ichikawa Utaemon, the film dramatizes this historic clash.
