It’s cross and double-cross in these further adventures of Ryuzen, the wayward priest played by Katsu Shintaro as he tries to help a woman who may be the heir to a fortune get what is rightfully hers. Matsuo Kayo, who first rose to international stardom as ‘the supreme ninja’ in “Shogun Assassin” gives an outstanding performance in this clever and exciting caper tale set in the samurai era. Ryuzen agrees to help her, but is he just in it for himself, and is she really who she claims to be? When they come up against Boss Tobei it’s a virtual free-for-all as everyone struggles to walk away with a fortune in gold!

Au hasard de ses pérégrinations, un moine à la petite vertu va se mettre à suivre une charmante femme lui ayant tapé dans l’œil. Cette dernière, qui est la femme du fabriquant d'or du shogun, accompagne celui-ci en visite dans un temple en province. Mais cela n'effraie pas notre moine qui va malgré tout essayer de la rencontrer pour finalement mettre le nez dans une sombre histoire familiale.
