Sanjuro
Sanjuro is a wandering Samurai who gets drawn to local politics. A clan’s Superintendent plans to overthrow the Chief by incriminating the Chamberlain for corrupt activities, which is something the Superintendent actually has responsibility for. The plan includes the murder of the Chamberlain’s staff. Sanjuro, who is protecting them, takes sides with them. It is likely that the supporters will be outnumbered, so Sanjuro will need all his cunning and swordcraft in order to stop the Superintendent from executing his wicked plan. –grantss
