Mio is a struggling writer who writes a pornographic book entitled Flesh Futon which becomes a surprise best seller. With his newfound wealth, Mio begins indulging in the nightlife, excusing his activities to his wife by saying it is for research. Mios reputation comes crashing down when a prostitute reports that his penis is like a guppy. More bad luck follows. His book is banned, and his wife puts him on a short leash. At the height of his misfortune, his house is robbed. Mio meets the robber who turns out to be the Japanese folkhero Nezumi Koz. The two become friends, and Koz introduces Mio to a doctor who can perform penisenlargement surgery. With his new equipment, Koz and Mio become frequenters of the redlight district, until the real Nezumi Koz appears, and evil luck returns to Mio.In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia The Sex Films, the Weissers write that Atsumi Yamatoyas script for Banned Book Flesh Futon shifts awkwardly between sex jokes and slapstick, and that it is wildly out of control by the time that Mio meets the first Nezumi Koz. By the time the real Koz appears, the story has gone completely overthetop. Allmovie agrees that the slapstick humor is too much, but points out that this comedy at least proves that Nikkatsu was producing more than SampM and erotic melodrama films during the 1970s. ........
