During this time, an evil masked villain named “K-20” roams around Japan stealing priceless artifacts. Always on the trail of K-20 is his arch nemesis Akechi ([[Toru Nakamura]]) – a suave detective. When Akechi announces his engagement to the rich heiress Yoko Hashiba ([[Takako Matsu]]), K-20 warns Akechi to call off the wedding or he’ll be there to make his biggest heist yet.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile a good natured circus performer named Keikichi Endo ([[Takeshi Kaneshiro]]) is hired by a mysterious figure to snap photos of Akechi and Yoko’s wedding. Keikichi is unaware that his employer is in fact the evil K-20 and he’s being set up to be his fall guy …<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> # Based on Edogawa Rampo's &quot;Kogoro Akechi&quot; detective novels, but re-written by [[Shimako Sato]].
