The drama starts when young actress Koharu misplaces her fan and is lent one by another performer which attracts the attention of bad samurai Shuzen Ogaki who recognises it as having once belonged to the Shogun. As it turns out, Koharu’s friend Hanji was gifted the fan by a childhood friend, a noble woman, Okyo, for whom he may have had feelings which would could never be returned seeing as he was the son of a maid. Having seen him in a play but feeling it would be inappropriate to meet, Okyo sent the fan in fondness but had not realized it to be valuable and is now in a difficult position as the Shogun will soon be visiting and if he does not see the fan will be offended. Shuzen wants the fan for himself to embarrass Okyo and her husband and advance his own position. Just as Okyo dispatches trusted retainer Gennojo to ask Hanji to return the fan, Shuzen sends in his goons killing Hanji but only after he manages to substitute a fake fan for the real one.
