Set in the Bakumatsu, Bunta Sugawara’s yakuza‑style gambler kills a man, is wounded and rescued by blind Mitsuko Baishô, who nurses him back to health. They find peace under Tomisaburo Wakayama’s oyabun, but the outlaw Okada Izo and the Shinsengumi, with Kondo Isami played by Makoto Sato, intervene.
