A haunting melody tells the prophetic history of Spider City. During the Warring States period, surrounded by dense forest, Spider City had a complex terrain; any enemy forces that attacked here would inevitably lose their way. Therefore, the city lord confidently commanded from the tower, dispatching great generals to defend from all sides, ensuring that the city was as solid as a fortress. General Takeji Utsumi (played by Toshiro Mifune) and his deputy Miki, having effectively quelled a rebellion, were preparing to return to the city for their reward. On their way back, the two unexpectedly ventured deep into the forest and encountered a white-haired old woman playing music and singing. They found this incident suspicious, suspecting it was a ruse set up by the enemy, and approached her with force to compel her to comply. However, she foretold that Utsumi would usurp the city lord's position, and Miki's son would inherit the throne. Just as the two were beginning to believe her, she transformed into a beam of white light and vanished. After returning to the city, Utsumi became the lord of North City but, haunted by the prophecy, felt discontent. Encouraged by his wife Asama, he murdered the king and declared himself the lord of Spider's Nest City, yet this was merely the beginning of the prophecy...
