Plots(1)

On the day WWII ended, an army medic buried a stash of morphine in an air raid shelter. 10 years later, a pharmacist, Chinese restaurant owner, thug, junior high school teacher, and a woman who claims to be the sister of the now-deceased medic, all show up at the meeting point demanding their rightful share of the buried treasure. But the medic originally had only three accomplices - one thing is clear - there is one too many in the group. (Nikkatsu)
