is a 1958 action Japanese film directed by Toshio Masuda.

The film became more widely available outside Japan only when Janus Films released a special set of Nikkatsu 'noir' films on DVD, as part of the Criterion Collection. The other films in the set are 'A Colt Is My Passport', 'Take Aim at the Police Van', 'Cruel Gun Story', and 'I Am Waiting'.
