Ihei Misawa, a master swordsman of the Shindo Musou School took Tae, who was coerced into being the lord's concubine, and left his domain. He gave her a shelter at a lodging in a post town. He introduced himself as Yaebei Ishikawa and lurked in a cheap inn. Since he needs bribe money to pass a barrier station, inevitably breaks the rules of Samurai and earns money by making a challenge at a kendo hall and brings its members to their knees. One day when he went to another kendo hall, a mysterious man dominated it. He is Gunjyuro Ohba, the assassin that the domain sent to kill Ihei. These two swordsmen, both of them do not know where they came from, fight a duel at a day of a festival. (Shochiku)
