During the Kyoho period in the reign of Tokugawa Yoshimune, a gang of thieves is active not only in Edo but also along the Tokaido and Nakasendo, and throughout the Kansai region, skillfully stealing large sums of money. They only target the wealthy and never kill or injure anyone. They appear with the clouds and vanish like mist. On the night that the beautiful Ochiyo is set to marry a dry goods dealer, a large sum of money hidden in the shop is stolen. The gang disappears without harming anyone. It was a two-year plan to marry off Ochiyo so she could lead them in. The leader of this gang is Kumokiri Nizaemon, the greatest bandit of all time. He keeps a tight rein on his highly skilled and notorious followers Nanabake no Ochiyo, Kinezumi no Kichigoro, Subashiri no Kumagoro, Ingakozo Rokunosuke, and others.
