名奉行とうたわれた大岡越前は、ある頃、人相学に凝って学んでいた。

ある日、義賊と言われた木鼠長吉を裁くのだが、隠徳の相にあまりにも合っているために自ら取り調べた上で罰を軽くした。

ところがその長吉が再度捕まる。

One day, Ooka Echizen, a famous magistrate, was studying physiognomy.

One day, he judged Chokichi Kinezumi, who was said to be a righteous bandit, but because he was so well suited to the phase of hidden virtue, he interrogated him himself and lightened his punishment.

However, Chokichi was caught again.
