In Japan, at the time of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the prince ( daimyō ) of Aizu , Akinari Katō , ruled his country with a cruel hand.

Due to increasing crime and corruption, Mondo Hori instigates a rebellion. This fails, whereupon he and his followers flee. Three years later, Kato tracks down the men in a monastery and has them captured using the "Seven Spears", ninjas with special fighting skills. The women of the Hori clan are also tracked down. You are hiding in a women's convent that men are not allowed to enter. The "Seven Spears" ignore this law and invade the monastery. There they perpetrate a cruel slaughter among the women of the Hori clan, which is only stopped when Princess Sen, the sister of the current shogun , arrives. Only seven women survive the massacre, including Chie, the daughter of clan chief Mondo Hori.

Angry about the murders of the women, Princess Sen hires the fighter Jubee Mitsuyoshi , who is supposed to teach the women how to fight so that they can take revenge on the "Seven Spears".
