Chuko junishi no uchi
(Japan and Korea )
In the country at night, the warrior Kampei is charged by a wild boar. He fires twice, only to discover that instead of killing the boar he has killed a man. But this man turns out to be a highwayman who has just murdered Kampei's own father-in-law and stolen from him the money the old man had saved in order for Kampei to be able to join the other warriors.
