When bored mailman Sawaki delivers a letter to an old school friend turned yakuza, he is observed by the police and mistaken for an accomplice. While Sawaki dreams of a more exciting life, he has no idea that he is already in the investigators' crosshairs. Cult filmmaker SABU has crafted a fast-paced and hilarious gangster parody!
