The Buddha statue in Shurakuen Park comes to life, rises to his full 33-meter height, and embarks on a journey to save humanity. After passing through tourist attractions in the Chukyo region (presently Nagoya), the statue flies off to Tokyo. A 1934 article in Kinema Jumno purportedly describes scenes in which the statue "strides over a train," "rests his head on a three-story building," "makes geisha girls dance on his palm," and visits heaven and hell.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
