Investigating her whereabouts, Hondo uncovers a conspiracy to steal a buried stash of WWII-era gold. Soon he must dodge go-go dancing ninjas and chewing-gum bullets to save Yoriko, whose family secret is tied to the hidden treasure. Every bit as stylish and inventive as the wildest works by his mentor Seijun Suzuki, Yasuharu Hasebe’s (STRAY CAT ROCK) spy spoof is a gaudy 1960s pop delight that ranks with the likes of Joseph Losey’s MODESTY BLAISE and Mario Bava’s DANGER: DIABOLIK!
