Since the death of his mother-in-law Koh (Yoko Nogiwa), Watanabe Kogoro (Kazuki Higashiyama) has seen his wife Fuku (Noriko Nakagawa) fall into deep despair. Concerned for his wife's well-being, Kogoro decides to sort through his mother-in-law's belongings at the suggestion of his colleague, the constable Suminoe Hikozaburo (Syu Matsuo). A refreshing young man named Yachiyo (Kentaro Ito) arrives at the Watanabe household. While working as a helper at an oil shop, he also engages in exchanging unnecessary items from people, acting as a "middleman." Yachiyo, known for his broad connections, also associates with the carpenter Ryuji (Masahiro Matsuoka) and Okiku (Emi Waku), but he performs these exchanges gratuitously. Yachiyo, who sweats for connecting people, is a model of goodness. Despite receiving offers from merchant Sogaya Chubei (Yoshimasa Kondo) and Kazusaya Seiuemon (Toshiyuki Nishida) to charge fees for his exchanges, he firmly rejects them.
Yachiyo has a fiancée, Ohtane (Marie Iitoyo), with whom he has promised a future. After visiting Ohtane's bedridden mother, Yachiyo expresses his desire to marry Ohtane in the near future. However, their tenement is bought by a yakuza and forcibly destroyed. In the chaos, Ohtane's mother is killed. Yachiyo escapes with Ohtane, only to find out that the mastermind behind the incident is Sogaya Chubei, and he takes his case to the town magistrate. However, the officer Masumura Rintaro (Katsuhisa Namase) is pressured from above and does not proceed with the investigation.
Filled with unresolved resentment, Ohtane learns about a third-party contact from Ryu (Yuri Chinen) and the tile merchant Jinhachiro (Kenichi Endo). Determined to earn a fee for the exchanges, Yachiyo gathers coins and requests "work." The assassins respond to his call, taking out targets one by one. Kogoro manages to slay Sogaya Chubei, yet something feels off.
There seems to be a hidden agenda behind this incident...
Meanwhile, Yachiyo, eager to make Ohtane happy, decides to formalize the item exchange as a business with the encouragement of Kazusaya Seiuemon. With Seiuemon, who has connections to the senior councilor Suwa Mori Tadaetsu (Shozo Hayashiya), as his backer, Yachiyo's business quickly gains traction and money starts flowing in. However, an astonishing conspiracy lurks behind the scenes...
