The drama describes the fateful meeting in Osaka in the 1980s between Sanma and Jimmy when Sanma found the latter tied to the staircase of a theater without any clothes on. At that time, Jimmy was just a newbie comedian who failed at everything he did while Sanma was already a popular star. Subsequently, Sanma helped Jimmy to develop his comedic talent and became an international artist.
