Summary:
Son Goku, who rampaged through the heavenly world, was captured by Kannon and banished to the lower world, but he cannot return to heaven until he brings happiness to the human world. Goku, who was sent down to the human world, disguises himself as a handsome man and saves a beautiful girl, Kosei, who is being taken away as a debtor by Dokaku, a subordinate of the evil daimyo Kukko-oh, in a place of entertainment. Kosei invited Goku, her benefactor, to her house, and he was charmed by her beauty and his skill, so she decided to share her bedroom with Goku. However, when Goku accidentally takes a bath at her suggestion, the spell is broken and he returns to his monkey face, and runs away.
Next, Goku, disguised as a man with an ordinary face, meets Queen Shin and Suidama, a young man with many children, on the street. The two, who were running a daycare center for orphans, were kicked out of their home by King Dokaku to set up a residence for his concubines. Goku immediately chased Dokaku away, restored peace to the nursery school, and united Suidama with Queen Shin, who had mutual love, but Suidama’s younger sister Kougyoku became attracted to Goku during this time. Goku discovers that the Nine Tiger King is the Great Demon King of Hell.
In order to show Goku that humans cannot be happy because they are susceptible to temptation, Nine Tiger King first tries to seduce Xiaoqing, and then tries to woo Kougyoku as well. Goku, who had once lost his confidence, now fought furiously against Nine Tiger King using all his secret techniques, but for the first time, with help from Kannon, he defeated Nine Tiger King. Goku, who has now been given permission to return to heaven, refrains from meeting Kougyoku again and ascends to heaven, regretting her endless echoes. It is Kougyoku who is left behind and mourns Goku in tears.
