Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo
Fearing for his life, Ichi retreats to a favorite village. It has since been captured by Boss Masagoro, the son of a merchant accused of stealing gold from the shogunate. However, Yojimbo is both a shogunate spy trying to find the wealth and in love with the merchant's unwilling mistress, Umeno. Umeno's freedom is bought with the merchant's money by Ichi, the masseur. That causes Yojimbo to back out of a deal with Ichi to cause trouble between the two gangs. During the battle, Ichi finds the gold and sets up a last showdown.
