A masterpiece suspense action movie about a kidnapping and murder on a limited express train is now available on DVD for the first time. Tatsuo Yamada, acclaimed director of period dramas such as Kanjuro Arashi's "The Inazuma Magistrate" and Tomisaburo Wakayama's "Ningyo Sashichi Tatakimonocho Koshimoto Shisei Shijin", directs this modern drama following the success of "Spy and Chastity". The film depicts the sadness of people living at the bottom of society in a fast-paced production. --A detective, Yamauchi, and a reporter for a weekly magazine, Kyoko, are on the express train "Kodama" when the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate is kidnapped. Takagi, a railroad public safety officer, tells Chiyo, a maid of the Higashiyama family, who had come to meet the daughter, about what he witnessed. She tells him that the Higashiyama family has been receiving many threatening phone calls recently. Then, President Higashiyama receives a call demanding a ransom of 10 million yen. Higashiyama suspects that it is the Yasuoka clan, which continues to threaten him with merger talk, and keeps it a secret from the police. Chiyo overhears Higashiyama and Murai, his secretary, talking in secret, and goes to a phone booth to inform Takagi. After arranging a meeting with Takagi, Chiyo regains her composure and is attacked by a fast-moving foreign car. Yamauchi and Kyoko close in on the case with their own deductions and investigations. The ransom is handed over, but Kyoko, wanting a special story, is too brave and misses the culprit. Yamauchi examines the events leading up to the ransom and suspects that one of the people involved has an informant on the perpetrators' side. Kyoko senses this and approaches Murai, a childhood friend. Yamauchi piles up the facts as they come to light, and closes in on the culprit. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department then orders an emergency alert for the entire Tokaido Highway.
