Plot summary
Akira Saito works as a salaryman in Yokohama until his American-born wife, Aiko, asks the family to move to the United States to raise their sons Takeshi and Tomoya. He agrees, keeping from them his training as a ninja at a temple where his adoptive father, Koga, is the sensei. In Houston they buy a closed restaurant and apartment from Sam Green. After the sale is completed, two police sergeants break into the cigar store area and hide the Van Adda necklace under loose floorboards for the mobster Mr. Newman. When the necklace disappears, Newman's enforcer Limehouse Willie suspects Sam Green and then turns to the Saito family.
