Un samouraï errant arrive dans une petite ville déchirée entre deux chefs de la pègre rivaux. Il manipule habilement les deux camps, incitant à une guerre des gangs pour débarrasser le village de ses dirigeants corrompus. C'est un récit classique d'un héros solitaire qui apporte la justice dans un lieu sans foi ni loi.
