Cathy (Atsuko Okamoto), who works at a soapland, and Goro (Ryunosuke Kawai), a boy at the same shop, beat up the manager after a sudden dispute and flee with 7 million yen stolen from the store. Along the way, they accidentally hit a menacing man named Daimura (Riki Takeuchi), turning their escape into an unexpected three-person journey. The Wachi family launches a desperate manhunt for Goro and the others. Meanwhile, Daimura learns that while he was in prison, his Daimura-gumi is being dissolved and absorbed into a larger alliance through a sake-cup ceremony led by the Wakagashira Okura (Kazuyoshi Ozawa).
