A man who owns a lumberyard is attacked by the Yakuza because he owes them money. During the assault, the thugs also rape his wife. That night the wife kills herself. Completely heartbroken, the man fashions a sword out of steel in his factory and sets out to get his revenge.

At around the same time, some of the gang hired by the Yakuza decide to rob a jewelry store. It's an inside job since one of the sales assistants is in on the heist and disables the security video. Unfortunately for them, a young woman also has plans to rob the store of it's valuable "Cat's Eye" ring. With the help of three other women who just happen to be at the scene of the crime, the women rob the robbers and get away with all the jewelry.  Now the women are being hunted by the gang and the Yakuza. They also run into the swordsmen because he too is after the ring as a last gift to his dead wife. Together they must eliminate their common enemy while trying to stay alive.
