在寬永七年德川幕府第三代將軍家光的中央集權統治下，諸侯權力削弱，曾經威武風光的武士階級淪為浪人。甚至有許多浪人來到諸侯家以切腹自殺敲詐錢財。諸侯不堪其擾，當一名叫津雲半四郎的老浪人前來要求借井伊家寶地切腹自殺時，家臣決定將計就計，讓他自行了斷，然而卻低估了老浪人身為武士的信仰及畢生的榮耀。

In 1630 Japan, the disintegration of warrior clans left countless samurai unemployed and destitute. Hanshiro Tsugumo arrives at the Iyi clan intending to perform hara-kiri, a dignified ritual suicide. Mistakenly viewing him as a mere beggar seeking ransom, the Iyi clan decides to force his hand, only that they underestimated his intentions and true beliefs of honor.
