[ Story ]

This is an exciting action-drama concerning the righteousness and bravery of Tamami Sakura, a female gang boss.
One day she arrives with her followers at a hot spring to investigate the suicide of Kinryu which she suspects is murder.
She visits Kinryu's bereaved family to console and encourage them, but is then cornered by the Kurobe gang. At this moment "Reckless Masa" appears and routs the hoodlums. That night Masa visits the cabaret "Kegon" which is managed by Kurobe and beats off an attack on him by the gang.
Murderer, Sabu, with a gun in his hand, proudly confesses that he killed Kinryu by the order of Kurobe.
Finally Tamami, assisted by Reckless Masa, attacks Kurobe and his gang and an exciting battle ensues.
