Impersonating an Imperial Army officer by wearing a "red lion's mane", a poor servant returns to his village after 10 years of absence to end the village's suffering caused by corrupt officials.
A rollicking, good-hearted romp through feudal Japan. Expect thrilling sword fights, sharp satire on corruption, and a surprisingly touching mother-son reunion. It's a classic jidaigeki with a comedic twist that never takes itself too seriously.
