There's supposed to be more of this movie, but what there is has Denjirô Ôkôchi fighting, oh, let's say dozens of swordsmen. He's staggeringly tired, but every minute or three he tells them "Touch me and I'll kill you." They do and he does. Ocasionally, we cut to Yayoi Kawakami supporting Okichi's brother, Yuzuru Kume. He's staggering too as the pair stumble through the forest, pausing occasionally to call out "My brother!"
There's more to it than that according to the IMDb, and I see no reason to doubt it, even though the film I saw times in at the total length of the IMDb timing. What there is is some pretty good samurai fight choreography. Which, for a 95-year-old Japanese film, is plenty.
