Minamoto no Raikô and his vassal become lost on Mt. Meiro in Shinshû(modern Nagano Prefecture) and ask to spend the night at a local house, but the home is owned by an old she-devil and her child, Kaidômaru, who are hiding out on the mountain and perpetrating dastardly deeds. She is plotting to do something evil to them when she notices their presence and attacks. She is no match for their bravery and is wounded. She begs them to spare her son and flees to Mt. Akashi. Kaidô-maru becomes Sakata no Kintoki and becomes one of Raikô's most loyal retainers.
