Shogun’s sadism

This is a shocking documentary drama in which a number of bizarre and merciless methods of torture carried out under the law of the Tokugawa Shogunate are brought home most realistically. The story centers on antagonism between a magistrate who finds sadistic pleasures in using all kinds of ruthless torture and a police officer who despises such means, and involves a tragic love between the police officer and a pretty farm girl.
