Zatoichi at Large

Zatoichi (Shintarō Katsu), a blind masseur who is also a master swordsman, wants only to see a newborn child safely to its family. He finds the baby's mother robbed and dying on the road, delivers the child himself, and carries it off to find its father. Kazuo Mori follows him to an aunt who will be sold into prostitution unless the money the mother was bringing turns up, and the debt falls to Zatoichi to settle.
