After undergoing torture to demonstrate his honor and buy the freedom of a girl about to be forced into a life of prostitution, Ogami is hired by his very-impressed torturers to kill a corrupt governor. The governor figures out he's the target when Ogami turns down the governor's own commission, and the body-count soon starts rising to monumental proportions!
Editor's Note
The LONE WOLF AND CUB series chronicles the adventures of disgraced Shogun assassin Ogami Itto and his infant son Daigoro, who sell their services to people in need while traveling the countryside in search of revenge against the hit squad who killed Itto's wife. In this third film of the series, Ogami comes to the aid of a prostitute who killed her pimp and undergoes torture to win back her freedom.
Plot Summary
Disgraced shogun assassin Ogami Itto and his infant son, Daigoro, complete with a sign reading "Child and Expertise for Rent," continue their travels. This time they give aid to a girl who has killed a pimp--and they pay the price for their actions. Contains graphic violence and nudity.
Installment number three in the Lone Wolf and Cub saga finds Ogami hired by a female yakuza to kill a corrupt governor. While wandering the countryside, Ogami stumbles upon a brutal crime being committed by three mercenaries accompanied by the ronin Kanbei.
After killing the mercenaries, Ogami refuses to do battle with the ronin, taking refuge in a nearby town. It is there that Ogami meets Toizo and is offered the job of assassinating the corrupt governor Gamba. After exposing the previous leader's mental illness and exploiting it to his own benefit, Gamba is now the wealthy and powerful leader of the clan.
Gamba attempts to hire Ogami to kill the previous governor, then suspects that he is Ogami's intended target after he refuses the job. His suspicions are confirmed, as Ogami is led into a treacherous series of cat-and-mouse games with Gamba's men. What follows is an incredible orgy of violence as Ogami single-handedly faces off against an entire army of men, then faces Kanbei on the blood-drenched battlefield.
