[ Story ]

A man operates a small real estate business near Osaka.
Tokyo asks for help in buying a large tract of land in order, he says, to build an automobile factory. But by accident the realtor learns that the Tokaido Railway Line is going to be built directly across the land just acquired.
He determines to investigate and discover what really is happening. The rest of the picture is a chase with both money and revelation at the end.
