Sent on a mission by the President to deliver a treaty Townsend refuses to hand it over to anyone other than the authority it is intended, this angers the townsfolk incisively even though the two visitors have been allocated a seaside shack a temporary residence.
Meanwhile, Townsend falls in love with a beautiful adoring 16 year old Geisha beginning as a father daughter like relationship developing full circle by the finale.
