General Taira no Koremochi, responsible for protecting Shinanô (modern Nagano Prefecture), goes with his retainer to view the fall foliage. They come upon a group of beautiful women who invite them to their picnic. As the men become intoxicated, the women transform into demons, and Koremochi is nearly eaten by one of them. However, the bodhisattva Hachiman appears and gives Koremochi a supernatural sword, which he uses to vanquish the demons.
