Zatoichi Meets the One-Armed Swordsman

Word reaches Zatoichi (Shintarō Katsu), a blind masseur and swordsman, that a killing is being plotted on the outskirts of town, and he goes looking for the people behind it. He finds Wang Kang (Jimmy Wang Yu), a Chinese fighter with one arm, traveling with a young attendant whose parents were murdered by a gang of samurai. Kimiyoshi Yasuda and Hsu Tseng-Hung split the directing between them, one for each hero's tradition.
