In a desperate bid to burnish his image, Ginshiro compels a devoted member of his entourage, Yasu, to marry Ginshiro’s pregnant mistress, Konatsu. To support his new wife, the devoted Yasu becomes a stunt man, performing increasingly dangerous stunts. Konatsu is torn between Yasu and Ginshiro, who compels his loyal disciple to perform a death-defying stunt that could save the film and Ginshiro’s career.
