While Mohorito Chinen is admiring a Maitreya (Bodhisattva) statue in the Tengakuji temple in Iwate Prefecture, he accidentally breaks off a finger. He desperately calls Fujita to repair it, but before he arrives, the statue is sent to Kyoto for a festival by truck. Fujita then hatches a plan to repair the statue while in transit and enlists the aid of his friend Kido, a counterfeiter to copy the swipe card to open the rear doors of the truck. While Chinen tries to delay the truck, Fujita manages to repair the statue and escape undetected. However, Chinen is now forever in Fujita’s debt for saving his career.
