The American imperialists are at the door and intruding on Japan. To assess and train his troops the lord of the land announces a marathon through the land crisscrossing shores, forests and the mountain. The shogunate in Edo was not approving and views word of the contest with contempt and suspicion. Spies and moles are dispatched. One mole realizes the misunderstanding and is determined to stop lives and alliances being lost. He runs. —aghaemi

Trivia
Commodore Perry introduces the Colt Peacemaker as a 'single action revolver'. Being that it's 1855 and double action revolvers wouldn't be invented until 1889 there wouldn't be mention of single vs' double action yet.

Goofs
The opening scene has Commodore Perry present the Shogun's chief minister with a brace of Colt Model P (popularly called the Peacemaker) revolvers. The Model P and its accompanying .45 Colt cartridge weren't introduced until 1873, 18 years after the events depicted in the film.
