What happens

Ninpō-chūshingura (Japanese: 忍法忠臣蔵), also known as Tale of Ninja Duty, is a 1965 Japanese erotic jidaigeki film directed by Yasuto Hasegawa. The film deals with the revenge of the forty-seven rōnin. It is based on Futaro Yamada's novel of the same name. It is the third in Toei's Kunoichi film series based on Yamada's works. The president of Toei company Shigeru Okada asked Sadao Nakajima, who directed past two Kunoichi films, to direct the film but he declined the offer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
