In 17th-century Japan, three scrolls called Yagyu Bugeicho are
secretly kept by three separate households. If put together, the scrolls could
ruin the Yagyu family, overthrow the ruling government, and disrupt the
country's peace.
Although the three families zealously guard their scrolls, one
of the households is robbed of its scroll by the Ryuzoji clan, led by Princess
Yuhime. Jubei, eldest son of the Yagyu family and a master swordsman, pursues
the princess and her clan in order to retrieve the scroll. Meanwhile, another clan, also desperately wanting the scrolls,
assigns a Master Ninja/Samurai, Tasaburo, and his brother Senshiro to steal
them.
