The third film in the Outlaw Gangster VIP series is Outlaw: Heartless (1968) by director Mio Ezai with his only contribution to the series. Again, Goro (Tetsuya Watari) is the unaffiliated yakuza who becomes disillusioned with his current boss, when they shake down a man with a gambling debt that was the result of a fixed gambling den. Furthermore, the other henchman kills the man with the debt. Before he dies he asks Goro to make sure his sick wife, Yuri (Rika Fujie) gets to Nagano to recuperate. Goro leaves the boss and goes rogue catching up with an old friend, Sagara (Ryohei Uchida) in Yokohoma. Of course there is a love interest, confusingly it is Chieko Matsubara gain playing a different character than in the last film. There's plenty of action in this episode and some great location shots in Yokohama and Tokyo.
