A clan of ninjas finds a chest that has been washed onto shore, inside of which is a white baby boy. An ancient legend spoke of a foreigner who would come among the ninja and become a master like no other. The boy, Haru, is raised amongst the ninja, with the expectation that he may be the one the legend speaks of. However, doubts are cast over him being the great white ninja. Although he does possess some ninja traits, Haru is clumsy and does not really fit in. He does not graduate a ninja with the rest of his class. Left alone to guard the temple while all the ninjas are on a mission, Haru poses as a ninja when a blonde American woman comes in search of the services of one. The woman, Sally Jones, is suspicious of her boyfriend, Martin Tanley, and sends Haru down to the harbor to investigate. Haru sees that Tanley is involved in a counterfeiting business, and also witnesses a murder. The clan is upset with Haru’s actions, as the police now suspect a ninja is responsible for a murder. However, Haru is adamant that Sally is in trouble, despite the name Sally Jones appearing to be a pseudonym. Haru departs for Beverly Hills (judging from a pack of matches she left behind). Gobei, the best ninja in Haru’s class, is sent to watch over him.
