When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。奉天省东路道的赵家村，村中富绅孙兴文因处置鼠患得罪灰仙，患上怪病，恐命不久矣。其弟孙耀生在村长的指引下，前往参把头老白搭家中，请其为兄长进山寻一棵吊命的老山参。众人在寻参途中，听来福提及冯春和遭遇“黄仙劫亲”的怪事传闻，且试图用傀儡术蒙骗前来接亲的黄鼠狼队伍。老九也讲述了此前和郎中李大壮在山上遇到了妖怪，还遭遇了两次鬼打墙，在逃跑途中，少妇显出狐妖原型大开杀戒，李大壮命丧狐口，老九侥幸逃生。众人进入五仙庙后，事态却吊诡了起来，庙中竟林立着当年暴毙工人的牌位，冯春和、李大壮和奄奄一息的孙兴文竟都跪坐在神像前，来福和老白搭也被人迷昏，五仙庙仿佛隐藏着一个巨大的，不可告人的秘密……。
