Description: The head of the Kakegawa clan does not want reforms, so he has to be removed. The young samurai Gennosuke kills him, but instead of a better life he has to go on the run. Spitting on the samurai code, shouting “To hell with the name and honor! I will run and won’t stop!” Gennosuke goes free to the pampas. The daughter of the head of the clan, her fiancé and several other samurai are sent in pursuit of him.
