Hampered by incessant rain and chilling wind, the Harvard lacrosse team outslogged M.I.T. in the mud of the Business School field yesterday and won the opening game of its home season...
...black garter belt. Cut. Savage Indians are next, seen slaughtering defenseless pioneers. An elephant charges furiously. Racing cars crash in clouds of dust and fire. A girl lies languidly back on a bed. Dissolve to a submerged submarine shooting a torpedo. The H-bomb goes off. Motorcycles race through mud. A biplane crashes into a lake.

Mifune is shot, but hunter and hunted go on fighting through mud and marsh until they drop at last onto a bed of shrubbery. As a group of children go singsonging along the road nearby, both lie gasping, indistinguishable one from the other. Which is which? Kurosawa tenderly draws the line between good and evil: the killer begins...
