[Once again, thanks goes to the intrepid, Christopher Bourne for the following review.]
Hideyoshi Date (Katsunori Takahashi) is at his wits' end when we first meet him in Hideo Sakaki's Accidental Kidnapper. Deep in debt, with no job, no prospects, and no family, he's ready to end it all, and tries to do so, but he doesn't even have the nerve to commit suicide.
Wacky events are set in motion when Densuke (Roi Hayashi), a grade school boy, gets into Hideyoshi's cab and demands to be taken to his prep school. Hideyoshi at first tries to get rid of him, but when he learns that Densuke comes from a rich family, he seizes on the opportunity to get himself out of his financial hole. Recalling the advice of an old prison mate (Takashi Sasano) who pops up now and then to give fantasy pep talks, Hideyoshi hits upon the idea of demanding ransom from Densuke's parents. Densuke is also on the run...
