Salaryman Kintaro

Kintaro comes to town with his son Ryuta to begin working at a construction company. They move in with Kayo, who's rumored to be the CEO's mistress. When Kintaro takes Ryutaro to his nursery school, he's shocked to meet Hitomi, who's the spitting image of his late wife. The first payday, he's invited out for a drink where they're accosted by a yakuza.

Depressed by his seemingly imminent ouster initiated by Oshima, Ryunosuke calls his friends and loved ones together for a party at a hotel. There, Kintaro runs into an old buddy from his motorcycle gang days. Toru and his transvestite friends join the party and relate tales of Kintaro’s wild days.

It's nearly time for the Board of Directors' meeting, but Maeda hasn't been able to find the computer password that will unlock Oshima's nefarious schemes. Masumi sends Ryunosuke a magazine article reporting on a scandal involving Oshima. Meanwhile, Kintaro is "called out" by a punk at his office.

Kintaro is assigned to the Sales Department. Section Chief Tanaka takes him around to meet all their important clients. One day, CEO Ryunosuke introduces him to the father of a young man Kintaro had helped in the past. Takao wants to show his appreciation by allowing Kintaro to draw up the estimates for his supermarket.

Ryunosuke orders Kintaro to supervise at a construction site. The work there has fallen 2 months behind schedule. The foreman refuses to resume work until he's paid in full. However, he’s already been paid the construction cost. It is later learned that Oshima had promised to fork over another 200 million yen!

Kintaro has his hands full working on plans for an apparel firm's new building. Meanwhile, Maeda is depressed because his work isn't going well. Misuzu and Hitomi call on Kintaro at home, but they're left to twiddle their thumbs when Kintaro realizes that it's Ryuta's birthday, and he rushes off to Akemi's gravesite.
