Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. 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.。夏刚是某制药厂的执行总裁，因为董事长儿子董大少爷的排挤被逼离开公司。身无分文的他意志消沉，沦落到街头做乞丐。行乞期间他认识了一群好朋友，更爱上了一个叫阿楠的女孩子。为了追得美人归，他使尽浑身解数，甚至编谎话博取女友同情。到后来夏刚在阿楠的影响下重振旗鼓，与美国著名药厂合作。但阿楠知道了夏刚的谎言后，决意下嫁夏刚的死对头董大少爷……。山大王马大有绑架公主江芊儿误遭雷击，神奇的互换了身体，甚至彼此感受相通，成为了命运共同体。江芊儿欲换回身体与相爱的少将军陆天行举办婚礼，马大有也想去为父亲复仇，两人不得不向现实妥协，共同合作，以应付各种难关。应王密谋造反，令人潜入马大有山寨，架空马大有，将山寨做为秘密屯兵之所。江芊儿为替马大有查清当年父仇真相，陆天行也要为皇帝寻找应王谋反的罪证，三人各怀目的住进了应王府。应王提前谋反，颠覆了朝廷，江芊儿顿时成为无家可归之人。陆天行也被投诚的父亲逼着迎娶应王女儿江可岚，以示忠诚。江芊儿与马大有陆天行三人为蒙骗过关，上演了一出啼笑皆非的三角关系。。
