What is The Bad Sleep Well about?
In this loose adaptation of "Hamlet," illegitimate son Kôichi Nishi climbs to a high position within a Japanese corporation and marries the crippled daughter of company vice president Iwabuchi.

It is then that Nishi unleashes his plan to avenge his father's death.
