In 1947, in a pawnshop in Iwanai, Hokkaido, a family of three was murdered, and the shop was set on fire. Soon after, a typhoon struck, and the ship Seiun, sailing through the Tsugaru Strait, sank, resulting in over 500 deaths. During the identification of the victims from the shipwreck, two unidentified bodies with suspicious injuries were discovered. Investigations revealed that the two were former inmates of Abashiri Prison, Numata (played by Katsuya Matsuura) and Kijima (played by Sannosuke Ando), who had been last seen with a man named Inukai Toshi (played by Rentaro Mikuni). Hakodate police officer Yumisaka (played by Junzaburo Ban) intuitively felt that the case was related to Inukai, but Inukai seemed to have vanished without a trace, and the case ultimately remained unresolved. Ten years later, the bodies of a prostitute, Yae Sugito (played by Sachiko Left), and a young man were retrieved from the sea. Police officer Masaru Kegawa (played by Ken Takakura) determined that the two did not commit suicide, and the young man’s employer—entrepreneur Kyoichiro Tarumi—was a major suspect. As the investigation deepened, the decade-old unsolved case came to light... This film is adapted from the detective novel of the same name by Boon Mizukami and has been adapted for television three times since. The film won the Best Screenplay award at the 1966 Blue Ribbon Awards, as well as Best Actor award (Rentaro Mikuni), Best Actor, Best Actress (Sachiko Left), Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor (Junzaburo Ban) at the 1966 Daily Film Awards.
