In the late Meiji period in Hokkaido, Japan, Saichi Sugimoto, a war hero known as Immortal Sugimoto from the Russo-Japanese War, embarks on a new life in Hokkaido. He learns about stolen gold once belonging to the Ainu people, taken by a man named Noppera-bo who massacred everyone so he could get all the gold to himself. Noppera-bo was then caught and thrown into Abashiri prison, but had already hidden the gold in a secure location in Hokkaido. He tattooed the location of the hidden gold on 24 different prisoners, each prisoner held a part of the map, necessary to uncover the treasure. After sometime, Noppera-bo staged a jail break and asked those he tattooed to find the gold in return of getting half of it. Upon verifying that the information is true, Saichi Sugimoto sets out to gather the whole piece together so he could use money from the gold to restore Umeko's eyesight, whose husband Toraji died in the Russo-Japanese War.

During a bear attack, Sugimoto is rescued by Asirpa, an Ainu girl seeking vengeance for her father's murder by Noppera-bo. Bound by different goals but a shared quest for justice, Sugimoto and Asirpa unite forces. As their journey unfolds, more individuals including soldiers from the Seventh Division, Hijikata and others join the pursuit of the elusive gold. The movie ends with Hijikata revealing that the worth of the gold is not 200 kan, but 20,000 kan which is enough to build a new nation, adding that Hokkaido will become a battle field for all those in search of the gold.
