The story is about the exile of the last princess of the fallen Akizuki realm to Hayakawa, the former’s ally against Yamana’s brutal offensive.
Makabe Rokurota (Abe Hiroshi), a loyal retainer of Princess Yuki-hime (Nagasawa Masami), has been commissioned to transport Yuki-hime and Akizuki’s ample treasury of gold bars safely to the politically stable Hayakawa. They disguise themselves as humble firewood peddlers, hiding the gold bars inside the logs they are carrying so as to pass safely through roadblocks set up by Yamana, which is under the control of Takayama Gyobu (Shiina Kippei), whose attire bears a striking resemblance to that of Darth Vader.
Along the way, Rokurota comes across Takezo (Matsumoto Jun) and Shimpachi (Miyagawa Daisuke), who have escaped from forced labor in a gold mine. Takezo and Shimpachi first frown on joining the journey, but eventually agree to help out in the hope of escaping Yamana’s oppression and cashing in on the gold reward Rokurota offers them.
