It is the memorable movie debut of Ichikawa Raizo.
Meiji first year, July 1868 the Allied Forces of Satsuma and Choshu have flocked to a meeting at the Aizu boundary. Two young swordsmen Shinohara Junnosuke and Ikegami Senkichi, hide their pathetic decision and join the White Tiger Platoon. They have good sweethearts, whose names are Yuri and Osayo.
Junnosuke and Yuri have an informal wedding in a Shinohara family. But Senkichi shakes off Osayo, who cries and tries to stop him from going to the battlefield. Senkichi and Junnosuke go to the battlefield. Although the two persons did a desperate act, they do self-reflection after all in Iiｍoriyama.
