While still a child in the Meiji Era in Tokyo, Ocho witnessed the murder of her father. Twenty years later, she is intent on using every skill available to her, including gambling, thievery and swordplay, to exact revenge. A friend's dying request and a meeting with a foreign spy complicate her mission, while the yakuza is after her.
The film was considered controversial at the time, even for the genre, largely due to a scene where Ocho fights naked in the snow, slaughtering samurais and ending up covered up in the blood of her victims.
