The 31st instalment in the Tora-san series. On a ship en route to the Sado Islands, Tora-san enjoys the company of a beautiful woman (Miyako Harumi), unaware that she's a famous enka singer traveling incognito. In this variation on Roman Holiday (1953), the enka star enjoys Tora-san's company when her boyfriend left her. Eventually, she returns to her glamorous life, but not before surprising everyone in Shibamata by showing up to give Tora-san a ticket to her latest concert. Tora-san thought that this could be a good start, but she finally tells him that... her boyfriend is back. This movie features many enka stars (including Miyako herself) and longtime character actresses Tanie Kitabayashi and Chieko Nakakita, because director Yamada Yoji is also a big fan of Miyako.
