<Synopsis>

The final stage of "Yamada Osamu and Hello Knights" was at a closed cabaret in Hakodate.

Ten years after their last performance at the Hakodate cabaret, one of the members was depressed. It was Shu (Komiya Takayasu), the leader. He had been swindled out of his meager 1.5 million yen in a romance scam. His younger brother Eiji (Sugawara Daikichi) planned a 70th birthday celebration at Ichimura's izakaya in Osaka to cheer him up. However, upon arriving in Osaka, Ichimura had left the restaurant to Kitty (Toda Keiko) and gone to Kagoshima for his sister's funeral, who had died suddenly. The 70th birthday celebration began lively, fueled by the complaints of Shingo (Ohira Saburo), who had transitioned to manager.

There was an unfamiliar man among them. An enthusiastic fan of the club singer Kitty.

Things started to get suspicious when this wealthy man brought up the idea of reuniting Hello Knights.

The commotion escalated, involving even the residents of Osaka Minami.

Soon, the singing voice of Hello Knights could be heard from the back alleys.

As if to empathize with people's pain...
