Tony Tony gets a scroll from a dying man in the Klondike and is told he will be given a large reward for it in Japan. He travels there with his horse only to get involved with two rival clans. One has a large machine gun manned by an American which gives them a huge advantage over the sword-wielding other clan. Tony gets swindled for his scroll, and decides to pit the two clans against each other. It works for awhile, but he still has to survive seemingly endless foes. He gets help from an experienced samurai, and an antique, large gun. The Japanese location works for awhile, as does the perpetual rain, but the extra does of humor drag it down from previous Stranger films. Even Stelvio Cipriani's soundtrack falls short.
