A Ghost Of A Chance

Hosho (Eri Fukatsu) is a bumbling lawyer who is tasked with defending Goro Yabe, a man arrested for the murder of his wife. Yabe proclaims his innocence, saying that he was stricken with sleep paralysis at the time of the murder. Hosho heads to the inn where Yabe stayed and encounters the ghost of samurai Rokubei, who admits he was the one pressing down on Yabe. Hosho successfully brought Rokubei to the court as a witness. The problem is, the spook can only be seen by a selected group of people. So begins the struggle to prove Yabe's innocence.
