A wandering, masterless samurai arrives in a dusty town where two ruthless factions are battling for control of gambling and other rackets. Sizing up the corruption and fear around him, he sells his services to both sides, using cunning tricks and sudden bursts of violence to push them toward open conflict and shake the town’s balance of power.
