Description

Seijun Suzuki directs this Japanese crime thriller starring Michitarô Mizushima and Mari Shiraki. When gangster Miyamoto (Mizushima) is released from prison, he sets about retrieving the diamonds which he stole with his partner Mihara (Tôru Abe). When he receives an offer from his former boss and crime lord Oyane (Shinsuke Ashida) to buy the diamonds off him, he realises he is being double-crossed.

Mihara swallows the jewells to prevent Oyane from getting them but when his body winds up in the morgue, a deadly chase is on to be the first one to claim the precious stones.
