Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Honoring his father's dying words, a young man comes to the dusty desert village of Double Flag Town to claim his bride. Everyone looks down upon him because he looks inept and ignorant. When he kills a man who is attempting to rape his bride, he provokes the wrath of the Lethal Swordsman who is the rapist's brother and also a famous killer. Will our hero choose to escape with his bride or face the Lethal Swordsman?
