- Synopsis:
- When money lender Soetsu (Kenjirô Ishiyama) goes to collect a debt from samurai Fukami (Saburô Date), the swordsman's wife, Sawano (Mitsuko Tanaka), offers to repay with her body. Finding them in bed, Fukami kills them and dumps their corpses in a nearby swamp, but soon after he himself is found dead in an apparent suicide. Fukami's delinquent son Shingoro (Teruo Ishiyama) and Soetsu's shrewd daughter Oshiga (Maya Kitajima) both go in search of the money. As they cross paths, it becomes clear that the curse has passed to the next generation when the ghosts of Sawano and Soetsu begin to haunt them and bring misfortune at every turn.
