Date Mosui, a young samurai, one day gets a scolding from a nameless ronin that sets him thinking about what life is all about and his ways of living. His frined, Ando Kichinosuke, is alarmed at Mosui's despondency and invites him to his house as his little sister Tsuyu and he try to cheer him up. Sekiguchi Soroku, a chief retainer's son, who has had warm feelings for Tsuyu for a while starts to bother Mosui when he learns of his relationship to Otsuyu. Despite his efforts, however, the innocent Otsuyu's father arranges for the two love birds to marry each other. Suddenly, Mosui is ordered to serve duty in Edo, and he leaves his wife and son behind. He sees the nameless ronin from before and shows loyalty towards him. By and by, Mosui returns home after service is over, and he is overjoyed with the thought that he will be able to see Otsuyu and Shotaro again. Meanwhile back at home, Soroku tries to take Otsuyu for himself by using a secret letter that purports to claim that Mosui has joined the Royalist party. Instead of finding his wife and son who is supposed to welcome him home, Mosui finds a will that has been written by Otsuyu, who has committed suicide. The engraged Mosui kills both the Sekiguchi retainer and his son, and takes his only child, Shotaro to walk the earth. He arrives in Kyoto just as the people are rebelling aginst the supporters of the Shogunate. Mosui is recruited by the loyalists as well as by Kondo Isami, a member of the Shinsengumi, however he is not really interested in what is happening in the world or in the strength of his sword-arm. All he wants to do is to continue his endless journey with his beloved son. From Masterpieces of Japanese Silent Cinema DVD ROM.
