Komajuro Arashi, referred to as Master by his colleagues, is the lead actor in a second rate traveling acting troupe in Japan, they performing grand kabuki. The troupe's next stop is a coastal town they haven't performed in in twelve years, that last time before some, such as Komajuro's girlfriend Sumiko, joined the troupe. As usual, some of the men will try to have some fun pursuing some of the local women, sometimes with success, and sometimes not. Komajuro has his own agenda in coming to this town, only something that a few of the older troupe members know, in that he fathered a son here close to twenty years ago, said son, Kiyoshi, who has been told that his biological father died when he was a child and that Komajuro is his mother Oyoshi's brother, hence his uncle. Komajuro has been sending money to Oyoshi all these years, which is allowing Kiyoshi soon to go off to college, hence a better life than Komajuro as an itinerant actor leads. Komajuro wants to spend as much time as possible with Kiyoshi and Oyoshi as possible before the troupe and thus he has to leave again, he needing to sneak off from an unsuspecting Sumiko to do so. But when Sumiko discovers what's going on, Kiyoshi becomes a pawn in the battle between Sumiko and Komajuro.—Huggo
