It's an extravaganza of song and dance when everybody's favorite, Misora Hibari, stars in this highly entertaining samurai tale from noted filmmaker Watanabe Kunio who directed "Chusingura-The Daiei Version" the very same year. The Japanese belief in the mystical powers of the fox are taken to the extreme as Okon is the 'vixen' leading a group of foxes that sometimes steal from the farmers and townspeople.

Yuri Rintaro used to work as the chief of the First Investigation Division in Tokyo. Due to a case, he resigned from the police force and moved back to his hometown of Kyoto. Now, he works as a forensic psychologist in Kyoto. After receiving requests from the police, he helps them with their investigations. His investigation method involves careful observance of the crime scenes and he uses trace techniques learned from a hunter. He met that hunter in the Rocky Mountains, USA, during his school days. His assistant in Kyoto is Mitsugi Shunsuke. Mitsugi admires Yuri and runs the website "Yuri Rintaro no Jikenbo," which records Yuri's performance. ~~ Adapted from the novel Detective Yuri Rintaro by Yokomizo Seishi.
