After a brilliantly successful and courageous war record on board the gun boat 1087, the crew are demobbed and go their own ways. By chance the Captain and his second-in-command meet again, the former hard-up, the other a cheap racketeer. They decide to buy the old 1087 and go in for smuggling.

Japan and the Legacy of the Samurai
A series of seven weekly films on present-day Japan and its debt to the past. Narrated by Julian Pettifer
2: Cherry Blossom and the Sword
' The way of the samurai is death... -. In a 50-50 life-or-death crisis, simply settle it by choosing immediate death.'
Those words from a samurai manual of the 18th century were used to indoctrinate the kamikaze pilots before they set off on their suicide missions, and they were the inspiration of the writer Yukio Mishima , who, in 1970, killed himself by the samurai technique of seppuku - hara-kiri.
The samurai were an elite class of fighting men, who were bound by a most demanding code of honour to their lord, their emperor and to the Shogun -the military dictator who ruled the country. Aided by the meditation techniques of Zen, they brought martial arts to a state of perfection, and they were the most feared warriors in Asia. In the 1860s Japan's feudal system was abolished, and with it the privileged class of samurai. But samurai families remain to this day, and the samurai virtues of dignified restraint coupled with a capacity for vigorous and single-minded action are still greatly admired, and they lie at the heart of many a business transaction.
