Kumokiri Nizaemon Season 3

During the Kyoho period, a gang of thieves are active in Edo, the Tokaido and Nakasendo, and all across the Kansai region. Targeting only the very wealthy, they steal large sums of money with skillful techniques and never kill or injure people. People call them the Kumokiri gang because they appear with the clouds and disappear like the mist. The leader Kumokiri Nizaemon (Nakai Kiichi) keeps a rein on this gang of highly-skilled and notorious followers Nanabake no Ochiyo (Uchiyama Rina), Kinezumi no Kichigoro (Ibu Masato), Subashiri no Kumagoro (Tezuka Toru), Ingakozo Rokunosuke (Emoto Tasuku) and others while Abe Shikibu (Kunimura Jun), the chief of the public security force, the Hitsuke Tozoku Aratamekata, opposes him. The fierce battle which pits the wits of the two men continues to go on.
