Martial arts favorite Sonny Chiba stars as a soldier who returns to Japan after WWII to discover that black marketeers have taken over his old stomping grounds. He opens a karate school and attempts to help a group of orphans, as well as a young girl who has been forced to become a prostitute in the aftermath of the war. Gory fight action, a strong theme of Japanese nationalism, scenes that strive for emotional resonance, and basis in the history of martial arts make this an unusual genre entry and a must for fans of Chiba.
