Hira Mikijiro (Three Outlaw Samurai) assumes the mantle of Saotome
Mondonosuke, the Bored Hatamoto, that personal agent of the shogun with a never-ending thirst for adventure, made famous by Ichikawa Utaemon. Once again, Mondonosuke will ferret out the corruptors of the shogunate, evil officials who line their own pockets at the expense of the common people and crush the peasants underfoot. The Bored Hatamoto will wager his life and pit his sword skills against a score of flashing blades in an arena of certain death to punish the guilty and disrupt their crooked schemes.
