SYNOPSIS:
A group of travelers is stranded at a small country inn due to the river in flood after heavy rains. Among them are Ihei, a poor ronin, or masterless samurai, and his wife, Tayo. The rain does not stop, and the group is unable to carry on their journey. Ihei goes to a dojo without telling Tayo to disputes a fight for the “prize-fighting”. With the money he got, he buys food for the starving guests at the inn and makes them very happy. After the rain, he steps in to prevent a duel between two young samurai, member of the house of Shigeaki, the lord of the domain. Shigeaki is impressed with Ihei’s skill, invites him back to the castle and offer to make him fencing master to the fief.
