Such a Kambei receives an appointment as a secret inspector from Ometsuke Doi Masatoshi (Yamagata Isao) and sets out on a journey around various countries. A town girl Okon (Enatsu Yuko) accompanies him as a money watcher while Yoriki Ariga Tozaburo (Meguro Yuji) disguises himself as Senda to accompany him as an alcohol watcher. In addition to them, a "poverty god" (Yoshida Yoshihiko) disguised as a monk follows them as their watcher. Kambei punishes evil wherever he goes on his journey with his troublesome watchers.
