The Tarokaja servants are ordered by their master to guard in his absence what they have been told is a deadly poison. Curiosity, however, gets the best of them.
The ghost of the infamous bandit Kumasaka Chohan tells the story of how he was slain by Ushiwakamaru, the young Minamoto no Yoshitsune. With a long-handled sword in hand, Kumasaka makes sweeping movements in all directions as he reenacts the night attack.
