Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。元末明初， 江西中书平章徐进得知皇上要来扫陈友谅衣冠冢，派其义子靖王朱建雄先行安排一事，心内蹊跷。陈友谅义女陈莫愁领导的旧部知此事后，都主张杀朱建雄。莫愁虽只愿过安祥的民女生活，但又难违众愿。 元顺帝派京都鼓王刘云鹏假装叛变潜入南方，受到徐进等人接待。在衣冠家前，朱建雄化妆成商人，与扮成渔姑的莫愁有了一番对话。在明兵围来之际，他让莫愁逃跑，自己被明兵抓获。朱建雄让徐进往外传话要处死自己。陈莫愁让侍女秀秀化妆成自己潜入徐府搭救恩人。秀秀本是元朝女官，得机会后与刘云鹏接头，刘云鹏则利用徐进邀唱之机在徐府花园引起混乱，朱建雄无可奈何地走开了。 商船上，朱建雄再次见到莫愁，双方隐约觉察对方身份，莫愁感到朱的诚意，信任地离开了，副将林武却看清了这一切。朱建雄指使放了假莫愁，刘云鹏要秀秀杀陈莫愁，朱建雄。在莫愁陷入刘云鹏圈套之际， 朱建雄飞马相救。但莫愁部将将朱...。
