Synopsis
Sur un pont délabré, Zatoïchi provoque involontairement la mort d'une vieille femme. Rongé par le remords, il se met à la recherche de sa fille dont il sait seulement qu'elle est prostituée à Ogiya, une maison close du port de Choshi. Il finit par la retrouver et gagne la somme nécessaire pour la racheter à la table de jeu de Mangoro, un satanique parrain qui règne sur Choshi. Zatoïchi se met alors en tête de remettre la prostituée dans le droit chemin. Son ardeur à la tâche le rendra même sourd aux cris désespérés de la population persécutée par les hommes de Mangoro.Actors

Zatoichi's travels have finally brought him back to the village where he was trained in the arts of the masseur, nearly ten years ago by his old sensei, Master Hikonoichi. His proximity to his former teacher compels him to pay a visit, only to learn that Hikonoichi was recently killed while traveling, and his daughter Sayo has been sold into prostitution to repay the money lent to her father by local business man Tatsugoro. Zatoichi sets out to free Sayo, only to discover that the entire village is suffering -- victims of a scheme that has either forced their daughters into prostitution, or into doing the bidding of Tatsugoro, who is working for the corrupt Intendant, Isoda. Sayo provides him with the toggle of a medicine pouch, recovered from her father's hand.
