- Synopsis
- Shinpei is arrested for murdering a ringmaster who had been threatening his lover Saeko. The train carrying Shinpei is derailed and he escapes, handcuffed to a seasoned killer named Susumu. Unable to break the handcuffs, Susumu suggests one of them cut off his hand so the other can escape alone. As a pianist, Shinpei is loathe to sacrifice a hand but Susumu forces the matter - but ultimately Susumu cuts off his own hand, with Shinpei eventually learning he was innocent of murder - and Saeko is Susumu's daughter.
