Tora-san's Promise

Tora-san returns to his family home to attend an elementary school reunion, but after getting drunk and insulting all of his former classmates, he is humiliated and sets off on the road again. In Kyushu, he encounters a bold 18-year-old girl who falls for him and begins trailing after him. Meanwhile, one of Tora-san’s old friends is terminally ill and asks Tora-san to promise that he will marry his wife after he is gone.
