Hishataro, a man with thirteen prior convictions, hit a massive long-shot winner at the racetrack—only to be swindled out of the fortune by Ginpachi Sakamoto, a man he had met there. When Hishataro tracked Ginpachi down and roughed him up, Ginpachi pitched a "lucrative deal": a huge payout for helping to force out holdouts during a resort development project. Eager for the money, Hishataro stormed into the inn that was refusing to vacate, but he fell instantly in love with the young proprietress. He completely changed his tune, turning against the yakuza behind the land-clearing scheme and launching a violent assault on them instead.
