## Overview

## Plot

A con man and fraudster named Ryotaro Iga appeared in a rural town in the Tohoku region. He played a trick on the authorities called a preliminary inspection of the Tohoku Shinkansen construction project, tricked the agricultural cooperative staff's loyalty and the town mayor, and even took away Hanako, the daughter of a small restaurant owner.

Tadashi Komura, who had long been fond of Hanako, went to Tokyo in search of her. Ryotaro, who reappeared in Tokyo despite the village rush, met a man named Gennai Hayakawa, who was enthusiastic about the big invention of changing water to gasoline, and his sister Mitsuko. Ryotaro attempted a large-scale fraud of the first generation with this as a story, but a businessman named George Hirota of the Empire Amalgam Technics Company appeared and brought a dreamlike story that he wanted to come to the state with the patent along with a rice field. He flew to the United States immediately, succeeded in the experiment for some reason. Under Ryotaro and Hayakawa, who are very good at it, there was a story from a representative of a certain country in the Middle East that if they stop making the drug, they will provide 10% of the annual oil sales.

Ryotaro, who knew that the amount of money that would fit in the two of them would be ¥36 billion a year, signed on the spot. On the other hand, Tadashi, who came to Tokyo, was scouted as a model by Hanako, and when he learned that he had traveled to Hawaii, he followed suit and the two were united. After returning to Japan, Ryotaro married Mitsuko, bought his home village and lived in peace.
