Every year during the harvest a group of bandits (Nobuseri) would come and steal what the rice village Kanna has worked for. Like other villages there is little they can do against the bandits that periodically steal women from their families and take the food that they need to prosper. There is one last hope, the elder of the Kanna village has decided to fend off the bandits by hiring samurai. Kirara, her younger sister Komachi and Rikichi are given the task to find their saviors however their task will no doubt prove challenging as they have nothing but rice to pay for the samurai’s services.
