Postman Blues
(Posutoman burûsu)

On his evening round, Sawaki, a conscientious postman, visits Noguchi who has just chopped off his little finger to be admitted to a Yakuza gang. The pinkie rolls off the table into Sawaki’s mail bag. When he opens ail the mail that evening in a testy and drunken fit, he loses Noguchi’s little finger. But Noguchi’s Yakuza boss wants the pinkie to prevent Noguchi from getting it put back later in secret. In the meantime, the police are keeping a close watch on Noguchi’s house, so the postman turns into the main suspect in a murder and drugs case overnight.
