Yamato Teruo (Isamu Kosugi) returns to Japan after spending six years at an agricultural college in Germany. Teruo is the adopted son of an old samurai family, and is expected to marry the eldest daughter, Mitsuko (Setsuko Hara). However, Teruo has become infected with the idea of Western individualism during his stay in Europe, and refuses to bow to the demands of society. Instead, he confounds his future father-in-law Yamato Iwao (Sessue Hayakawa) by announcing that he intends to marry a German journalist, Gerda Storm (Ruth Eweler), whom he met on the ship back to Japan. Gerda, however, is a blond, chaste, Aryan woman, and will not agree to a mixed-race relationship. She attempts to convince him of his duty to the Japanese race and traditions and to reconcile him with his family.

Nord du Japon, vers 1670. Sous le nom d'Akanishi Kakita, un homme au physique disgracieux aimant son chat et le shōgi est en réalité un espion chargé de surveiller les agissements dans le clan Date pour le compte du chef du clan Katakura. Ayant réussi à déjouer une tentative d'assassinat et intercepter des courriers compromettants, il cherche un prétexte pour quitter la résidence du seigneur Date Hyōbu sans éveiller les soupçons. Son acolyte Aozame Masujirō lui conseille d'écrire une lettre d'amour à Sazanami, la plus belle femme de la résidence Date pour devenir la risée de ses compagnons et ainsi obtenir une justification à son départ. Mais comble de malchance, la belle répond favorablement à ses avances l'obligeant à "oublier" une autre lettre pour qu'elle soit découverte et qu'il puisse profiter du stratagème. Soupçonneux, le seigneur Kai Harada se doute de quelque chose et envoie une troupe à sa poursuite, mais celle-ci échoue à le retrouver.
