Plot:	Koheita is a samurai made the mayor of a corrupt, crime-ridden town, with the idea that he will be able to clean the place up. His solution is to pose as a lazy corrupt official in order to lure in the criminal element and then dispose of them. Copyright © 2000+ HKFlix, all rights reserved.

Overview:	Koheita (Koji Yakushi) is a samurai with such a reputation for debauchery that his nickname is "Dora-Heita" (Alley Cat), so his appointment as magistrate of the most corrupt township in all of Japan raises a few eyebrows on both sides of the law... But little does everyone know that it's all a carefully constructed front to outwit the criminals and outfight the righteous samurai who thinks he's too disgraceful to live!
