The story is set in mountain lodge on a gold mine of the Date clan. Sagen, a ninja who serves Date, has stealthily been digging a hole in the ground by orders of his Lord. But he hasn't been told about the purpose yet.
Now, his colleague Riku comes there and show him a secret letter from their lord. It is a next command for them, as below.
The Tokugawa shogunate a plotting to take our treasured gold mine by force. To oppose this, block the entrance of the mine and pretend that it has been abandoned because of a roof-fall accident.
Then, spread a rumor like this :
"people who entered the mine to dig up a hugegold nugget were all buried alive by a roof-fall, which wgas the punishment by the mountain god. Only a female servant, called Osotok, was faithful enouighto be released. She informed others of this dreadful incident.''
After hearing this, Takogawa will fear divine punishment and give up our mine. From now on, we go in and out there through the hole Sagen has dug.
When Sagen and Riku admire this scheme, ninja has who serve Takogawa suddently appear and request to show the letter to him. The two refuse it to keep secret of the Date's mine. It causes the fierce fighting between ninjas.
Finally, Sagen and Riku struggle through the crisis and win the enemies. They rush out to carry out the command.
That is, to play a trick of the legend of Osotoki......
