When a noodle shop catches fire, the prisoners help fight the blaze. Group leader Takahara saves a child trapped in the building. In response, the local residents support the new prison concept. The local yakuza gang is hired by a rival company to destroy the new prison and the factory dock. After a series of incidents, one of the prisoners' leaders who is associated with the gang confronts them. He is seriously wounded, as is the President.
