Summary:
Ever since the arrival of tough guy George Kodama, who started stirring things up in Kimujuku, some of the people in this small town are feeling uneasy. It is obvious they are hiding something, but with the whole town split in half, George is having difficulty exposing "the secret." While he is trying to find a man, the town is disrupted by numerous fights, a shoot-out, and even a murder!
