The elderly yet vibrant factory owner Kiyichi Nakajima (played by Toshiro Mifune) purchases a piece of land to build a basement as a precaution against nuclear radiation after hearing about hydrogen bomb tests in the United States. Later, upon hearing that the Soviet Union is also conducting hydrogen bomb tests, he learns that radioactive dust could blow from the north to Japan, prompting him to abandon the basement construction plan and decide to move his family to Brazil. People around him regard him as overly worried and making a fuss. His family strongly opposes his plan and requests the court to prevent him from handling the family assets on grounds of mental instability. In a desperate attempt to cut off his family's escape route, Kiyichi Nakajima burns down his own factory, only to realize that this action leads to the unemployment of his workers. Ultimately, Kiyichi Nakajima goes insane and ends up in a mental hospital.
