Wandering swordsman Otori Ippei, the calculating Nikaido Heiro and brutal Kumokiri Jinjiro need a money-making scheme they can turn their swords to…robbery…even murder, if it pays. But after their first crime, Nagasaki’s Magistrate targets Otori, and he endures torture, and threats of execution, until his accomplices start a jailbreak. The three samurai unite then, for the ultimate score—facing an army of swords to hijack 10,000 ryo belonging to corrupt officials.
