An inexperienced tanuki (Japanese
raccoon dog) shows off his unpolished shapeshifting
skills in a vain attempt to play a series of practical
jokes on a wandering samurai. Little does he realise
that his quarry is actually a clever kitsune (fox)
whose prowess at shapeshifting far surpasses his own.
When the "samurai" begins to make a mockery
of the tanuki's mischievous exploits, the young one
appeals to his father for assistance. Will the combined
efforts of two generations be enough to overcome their
mysterious foe?
