This film is a Nikkatsu action masterpiece, as it is the posthumous works of Keiichiro Akagi. The late actor, known to his friends and fans as "Tony", died in an unexpected go-cart accident at the tender age of 21. Premiering on the big screen just days before his death, "A Killer Without a Grave" culminates the brilliant career of this young Nikkatsu action star.
Nakata (Keiichiro Akagi) is a nihilistic young buck who is willing to do anything to get money in his pockets. As he knocks back a couple drinks that he knows he won't be able to afford, a former marksman-turned-bad, Ishioka approaches him. Ishioka is looking for an unaffiliated hit-man who is willing to handle some business. Nakata is just the right man for the job.
