When his travels bring him to Osaka, Tora-san falls in love with a local geisha. He helps her to track down her estranged brother, and informs his family that he plans to marry her. His plans are foiled when the geisha informs Tora-san that she is engaged.

被譽為《男人之苦》系列中的顛峰之作。淺丘瑠璃子飾演的酒吧歌女莉莉繼第11集《寅次郎毋忘我》後第二度登場。寅次郎與離婚後的莉莉重遇，兩人今次感情突飛猛進，還經常手拖手逛街。正當各人以為寅和莉莉天生一對，慫恿他們共諧連理之際，寅卻狠狠地拒絕了這頭婚事，因為他相信：「莉莉是一隻季候鳥──受傷了回家休息，醫好了便展翅翱翔，留不低停不下──像我一樣。」無腳雀仔的鼻祖原來是寅次郎！ Considered the best film in the series, Tora-san Meets the Songstress Again marked the second appearance of Asaoka Ruriko as Lily, the club singer whom Tora encountered in Tora-san's Forget Me Not. Love seems to have blossomed between Tora and the now-divorced Lily, but contrary to the beliefs of friends and family, marriage is not on the minds of the lovers.
