It takes place in Barana (a kingdom in India) and it is the autumn. To make it less complicated, I'll do the plot in bullet points/list form.
- The Dragon Gods are trapped in a cave because of Ikkaku Sennin's curse and are unable to make it rain. The emperor grieves for his land, as it is all dried up and there is a terrible drought. Shinka, who serves the emperor of Barana, is to take a beautiful girl (Lady Senda Bunin) to the mountains where the wizard lives for him to fall in love with.
- Shinka, two koushou, and Lady Senda Bunin travel to the mountains (they sing a travel song).
- They arrive and claim to be lost travelers. Ikkaku Sennin tries to make them leave, but decides to show himself.
- They offer him some sake, but he refuses by saying hermits only eat needles of pine trees and drink dew.
- Lady Senda offers him a cup of wine and he accepts, as he has fallen in love with her. He falls into a deep sleep.
- Upon awakening, he discovers that he has lost his powers for being with humans and getting himself "lost in lust".
- The great dragon gods are released and appear before him.
- Ikkaku Sennin takes a sword and tries to fend them off. He exhausts all of his remaining magic powers and drops to the ground.
- The dragon gods go back to their dragon home.
