Chobei, a skillful plasterer, blithely gambles his family into poverty. To feed the family, his daughter Ohisa turns to prostitution. Touched by Ohisas selfless love for her parents, a Madame arranges a loan for Chobei. On the way home, Chobei saves a young man who, having lost a large sum, is about to commit suicide. But who will believe this story? Surely Chobei has gambled away the familys last chance. Starring Kanzaburo and Senjaku as Chobei and his wife.

Avant-garde in the 1600s, Kabuki Theatre remains at the cutting edge with live productions featuring some of the best Kabuki actors recorded by multiple HD cameras for screening in movie theatres by high-quality digital projectors with 6-channel sound.
