In his wanderings through the cities and towns samurai Sanjuro stumbles upon a serious conflict in one of the clans - the head of the clan is arrested with his family on false charges, and his place is about to be taken by the evil schemer Kikui. Only a handful of young warriors are ready to fight for justice. Sanjuro comes to their aid. His weapons are cunning, surprise, fearlessness and, of course, his sword, on which the blood of villains has no time to dry.
