Chuji Kunisada returns to his home village to find that Jubei Matsui, the corrupt magistrate, has been responsible for virtually destroying Kunisada's family. A final tragedy leads Kunisada to join with a band of rogues living in the forest in
robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, always with an eye toward avenging himself on Magistrate Matsui. The legend of Kunisada Chuji, a renowned figure of Japanese lore on a par with Robin Hood, has provided material for several movies, this one, starring the greatest samurai film star of all-time, Toshiro Mifune!
