In a police car, captured serial killer Yamazaki (played by Ken Ogata) appears relaxed and later refuses to disclose the circumstances of killing staff members Shibata and Baba during interrogation... Yamazaki comes from a fishing family that practices Catholicism. Due to religious discrimination, his family's small boat was confiscated. A young Yamazaki attempted to resist but was stopped by his father, leading to his father's loss of status in Yamazaki's eyes. After being released from prison for stealing American military equipment, the young Yamazaki marries Kazuko due to an unplanned pregnancy but quickly ends up back in prison for fraud. To prevent Kazuko from divorcing him, his father visits, but they end up having an illicit affair. Upon his release, Yamazaki is disgusted by what his wife and father have done and leaves home, starting a life of wandering accompanied by murder and fraud. Yamazaki disguises himself as a university professor and gets involved with a prostitute in a hotel, intermittently committing various crimes, unaware that the mother and son living with him do not know he is a notorious fugitive in Japan...
