Three unidentified men hold a group of people hostage in a hospital after doing a smaller crime. Inspector Ishida and Captain Tohno handle the negotiations while one of their colleagues, Lt. Ado, tries to find the reason why the men decided to take the hospital hostage. At first, Lt.

Relevant information is revealed to the audience through flashbacks and through discoveries made by the police. Several connections are made as the story develops.
