Many years ago, Atsushi Watanabe was the guy who lowered the crossing barrier on the local railroad. Kamatari Fujiwara and Akira Kishii were railroad employees who almost got his daughter, Setsuko Himemiya, killed. Watanabe was promoted to station master. The other two men were fired, but kept on by Watanabe. Now they want to use the talent competition at the local festival to launch a career as professional entertainers.
