Ninkyo Nakasendo (aka Gambler's Code on the Nakasendo) - the third and final chapter of an all-star cast trilogy, loosely based on the legend of Jirocho of Shimizu (1820-1893), Japan's most famous gangster and folk hero.
While on the road, Jirocho is falsely accused of starting a peasant's uprising and chased by the law. Meanwhile, one of his henchmen in an attempt to raise money for the Boss gambles away not only all their funds, but their clothing as well. Jirocho, famed for his honesty and integrity must take on the challenge of rival gangs while trying to elude the government's officials at the same time. Things really heat up when the most famous of all Yakuza Bosses, Chuji of Kunisada gets involved. Will he team up with his old friend or is gang warfare about to erupt.
