Short movie made in memory of filmmaker Sadao Yamanaka. When Edo is shrouded in darkness at night, a man appears rustling in the attic. He is Nezumi Kozō Jirokichi, a chivalrous thief who takes wealth from a wealthy man and gives it to the poor. The characters that add colour to the human drama that unfolds in the streets of Edo are Suzu, a merchant who has lost her husband and lives a hard life with her small child; Bonji, Yasugoro and Chogoro, who try to use Suzu to expose Nezumi Kozou’s true identity; and the two other characters, Kan’emon, an experienced detective who hate the sin but love people… this is what Film director Sadao Yamanaka dreams up.
