When a small boy halts an official Nambu Samurai Procession and, consequently, is about to be executed, Wang Kong, a one armed swordsman from China, steps in to save him. The result is a massacre of the local peasantry. Now a target for the Nambu Samurai, who wish to eliminate all witnesses to the incident, Wang Kong must become an outlaw to survive. Meanwhile, Zatoichi comes across the same small boy in the arms of his mortally wounded father, another victim of the samurai massacre. His last wish is for the blind swordsman to take care of his son. While travelling with the boy in his care, Zatoichi and Wang Kong meet.
