After the body of an African American youth was found in the elevator of the Tokyo Royal Hotel, the police launched an investigation. From the deceased's belongings, they learned his name was Johnny and inferred that he came to Japan to search for his birth mother. Following various leads, the police arrived at a certain hot springs where they found that a key informant had already been murdered, but they still uncovered that the well-known fashion designer Kyoko Yatsugi (Mari Okada) had cohabited with an African American soldier there in the past. Therefore, they dispatched Officer Tokuji (Yusaku Matsuda) to the United States to verify with New York police officer Schofield (George Kennedy). During the verification process, Tokuji fell into a historical memory and ethnic sentiment, almost conflating the American, especially Schofield, with the executioner who committed crimes in Japan back then, but ultimately regained his rationality to complete his task, identifying Kyoko Yatsugi as the murderer, while she herself was merely a victim of history.
