Tokyo Jim

Synopsis

Jim is an English lawyer in Tokyo finalising a very important deal with Mr Yakamoto - a Japanese businessman. Unfortunately Jim is not feeling that well. On top of that, Mr Yakamoto has taken an instant dislike to him. The last thing in the world Jim wants to do is to go for a celebratory post-deal drink. Being a good lawyer, however, Jim agrees to go, although there is just one thing he needs to do before they leave.
