Even their arch enemies, the Dokutake Ninja, aren't fighting all the time. With a relaxed attitude, the Nintama enjoy school life at Ninjutsu Academy, a ninja school that is, in a sense, a paradise in the midst of the Sengoku period. A "bright, fun, and happy!" world, just as the title suggests, unfolds. If you can feel warm and fuzzy as you peek into their slightly laid-back daily lives, both the Nintama and the Dokutake Ninja will be just a little happy.
John Stonehouse (William Russell) checks into a hotel, intending to commit suicide. But instead he winds up helping a girl, Gilberte Bonheur (Fritzi Brunette), out of a jam. He finds her bending over a man who she has apparently killed, and since he's about to kill himself anyway, he offers to assume the blame. Throw a valuable emerald into the works, and the fact that the dead man suddenly comes back to life, and Stonehouse -- not to mention the audience -- becomes thoroughly befuddled by it all. Everything clears up, however, when Gilberte gives him a theater ticket -- it turns out that everything he went through was the plot to a stage play, enacted in real life by the actors. The critics roasted the play, saying it wasn't true to life, and this was their proof that the situations really could happen. Gilberte retires from acting when Stonehouse proposes.

If only it weren't for the body that suddenly appears in the hotel room: a man in a coat, scarf and suit, lifeless, obviously beaten to death by the fallen window. One thing is clear: the corpse with resurrection tendencies has to go, Richard can't afford a scandal.
