Plots(1)
Years before Jackie Chan combined challenging fight choreography with slapstick comedy, entries like this one in the Zatoichi series (the 11th in the series) blended these elements flawlessly. This time, Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu) hooks up with a jolly con artist. The blind master's skills are not called into play until the thrilling final sequence when he must save an innocent man who is sentenced to die. (official distributor synopsis)
