Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo

In the middle of a rainstorm, Ichi overhears a man being killed by a group and then dragged off into the brush. He decides to visit his hometown not noticing until later that the townspeople are living in fear of a local yakuza gang. In the meantime, the boss's eldest son returns from university expecting a large sum of money to be paid to him, but the boss refuses. Eventually the boy grows tired of his father's apparent unwillingness to hand over the gold and begins to build an army to combat him. Zatoichi battles both sides until every one falls dead.
