The Samurai (1962)

Deadly Hostages (9x9)

Ausstrahlung: Dez 20, 1964

The Puppet ninja capture Maya and Taimon and hold them on a boat offshore as hostages while Yamizō orders Shintarō (Tonbei in disguise) to disarm. The real Shintarō swims to the boat and rescues the two Christians. Taimon warns him that the Puppet ninja plan to kill all the Christians that night. Watching this from afar, Kongō congratulates Shintarō on a job well done but wonders if he will see through to the real Puppet plan.
