After years of fairly mediocre films for Nikkatsu, director Seijun Suzuki finally had a hit with this entertaining story of various cases handled by the Japanese Coast Guard. Koji Wada became the object of much love-struck giggling by teenage girls across the country, rebounding from his flop Tokyo Naitsu in a role which better showcased his abilities. Ryoji Hayama co-starred in this loosely-knit adventure procedural.
