Plot

Samurai Kanemi Sanzaemon murders Lady Renko, one of his Lord's concubines. He is put into solitary confinement for twelve months. Through flashbacks his noble intentions are revealed. Two years after release he is made the lords chief attendant. His humility after release has brought him back into favour.

The term Sword of Desperation is from an alternative name of the 'Bird catcher' sword technique that Sanzaemon developed.
