In 1790s Britain, 16-year-old Tornado travels around the country in a caravan with her samurai father Fujin, performing bloodthirsty puppet shows to impoverished communities for a few coins in a hat. After one windswept performance, Tornado steals two bags of gold from an opportunistic rapscallion, who has, in turn, pilfered the booty from small-time criminal Little Sugar and his distracted underlings. Little Sugar’s venomous, Fagin-esque father Sugarman controls the gang and gives chase.
