Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell (Japanese: 子連れ狼 地獄へ行くぞ!大五郎 or Kozure Ōkami: Jigoku e ikuzo! Daigoro, literally Wolf with Child in Tow: Let's Go To Hell, Daigoro!) is the final entry in a series of six Japanese martial arts films based on the long-running Lone Wolf and Cub manga series about Ogami Ittō, a wandering assassin for hire who is accompanied by his young son, Daigoro.
[edit] Plot
The swordsman Ogami Ittō is confronted by a secretive branch of the Yagyū clan that practices black magic, including the ability to burrow through the earth. He encounters Kaori, a female expert with knives. And there's Hyouei, an illegitimate son of Yagyū Retsudo who kills anyone Ittō and Daigoro come into contact with. It culminates in a final battle on a snow-capped mountain, in which the baby cart becomes a sled.
