The Warring States Period.

The lord of Sagi (Heron) Castle, Matsunami Teruyo, was a beautiful young man of good reputation.

One day, a grand tea party was to be held, and the family of the neighboring state's lord, Takeno Gonnojou were invited.

Gonnojou, who was proud of his power, was planning to take this opportunity to conclude a marriage between his son, Keita, and Teruyo's younger sister, Suzu-hime, and his daughter, Aka-hime and Teruyo. His end plan was to get his hands on Sagi Castle.

However, Teruyo knew that Suzu-hime was in love with the page, Kounoshin, and planned to have the two escape the castle before the meeting with Gonnojou's family.

Prior to all this, a spy named Run from Oniga Castle had snuck into the Sagi Castle grounds with the help of the daughter of the gatekeeper. Strangely, Teruyo had fallen in love with Run, and though Run was a spy she was attracted to the gentle Teruyo and felt an intense passion for him....

Set in the foggy city of London, a stage where the sorrows and joys of the love of traveling entertainers are gracefully set before you.

At a nightclub in London, a large number of guests were dancing to the song "Tears on my Cheek". The song was written by the famous composer Fred Williams when he was young.

Fred's parents were famous vaudeville entertainers, but they died when he was quite young, and Fred and his younger brother Peter joined the traveling entertainer Max's troupe, where he became a headline star.

One day, while Max's troupe was staging a charity show, they encountered a rival troupe led by Bennett, and Fred fell in love with their headline star Linda. This was unforgivable to both troupes, so the two set out on their own.

A few months later, the great showman McCree created a big show in London staring Fred and Linda that brought together the Max and Bennett troupes. The show was a huge success.

Fred became famous as a singer, lived in a mansion, lived a luxurious life, and eventually had a child.

However, great happiness comes with great sadness. Fred lost his head over Julie, a star in Bennett's show.

Then Marie learned that Julie had seduced her lover Peter. She was so jealous that she shot and killed Julie with a pistol.

The incident was exposed to the public as a scandal, and Fred's popularity collapsed in an instant.

Fred, returned to his senses, realized that Linda was the only one he loved, and vowed to live happily with her and their child.

But their happiness was short-lived, for soon after Linda was killed in an unlucky auto accident while going to buy things for a party for the two of them....

• Final performance for Misono Chisato and Shiro Katsumi.
