Art instructor Kumagai (Moriyama Mirai) works for a private Osaka high school for girls, but his salary is at a discount to certified teachers. Sakai (Katsura Bunchin), the school’s chairman, runs the school like his own. One day, Kumagai is approached by music teacher, Nahoko (Takahata Mitsuki) and physical education teacher Oyamada (Onoue Hiroyuki) who seek to confront Sakai with proof of his wrongdoings and secure their own positions. Things are still going well up to the point they boldly venture into the apartment of Sakai’s mistress, Akemi (Nakamura Yuri). But after that, Sakai and Akemi disappear. The couple seem to have been kidnapped by the “education consultants” Minowa (Kinoshita Houka) and Nakao (Kimura Yuichi) for some reason. Kumagai and Nahoko unwittingly get involved in a scheme to steal the vast amount of gold bars which are Sakai’s hidden assets. Who are the real criminals? They deceive and get deceived as a struggle for the gold bars begins around Osaka and Kobe.
