URGENT NOTE: The picture and sound quality and the English subtitles on Mei Ah's Kurosawa DVDs are horrible. Apparently the Japanese dialogue was translated into Chinese, then the Chinese translated into English. We cannot accept returns for complaints of this nature. Please do not purchase these DVDs if you will be unhappy with their poor quality.

Plot:	Greedy relatives and mistresses plot over shares of a wealthy businessman's estate after they level insanity charges against him because of his overwhelming fear of nuclear war.
Overview:	Kiichi Nakajima, an elderly foundry owner, is so frightened and obsessed with the idea of nuclear extermination that his family decides to have him ruled incompetent. Nakajima's fervent wish is for his family to join him in escaping from Japan to the relative safety of South America. Harada, a civil volunteer in the case, sympathizes with Nakajima's conviction, but the old man's irrational behaviour prevents the court from taking his fears seriously.
