Ichirô Inohara

Um executivo de uma empresa de calçados torna-se vítima de extorsão quando o filho de seu motorista é sequestrado e pedem resgate. O executivo Gondo (Toshirô Mifune) hipoteca tudo o que tem na tentativa de assumir a Companhia Nacional de Sapatos, para manter a empresa fora das mãos dos outros executivos incompetentes e gananciosos. Contudo, o mesmo dinheiro que ele arrecada pode pagar o resgate que possivelmente irá salvara vida de uma criança, levando o executivo a tomar decisões extremas e elaborar procedimentos policiais. A resolução desse dilema - a perda certa da empresa vs a perda provável da criança - cria um drama distinto, e um elaborado procedimento de polícia cria um segundo. (e 12 - Estimado 12 Anos)
