Plot

In the 17th century, after the fall of Osaka to the forces of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu several survivors of the Toyotomi clan try to deliver a young prince to safety. They are betrayed by other survivors who want to enrich themselves under the pretext of re-establishing their clan.[6]

Cast

Production

Director Hiroshi Inagaki and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya, were both busy with other projects, so they did not discuss from which direction the tornado would appear on the screen, but their directions were the same.[1]
