Synopsis (based on Wikipedia):

A tailor is preparing to eat some jam, but when flies settle on it, he kills seven of them with one blow of his hand. He makes a belt describing the deed, reading "Seven at One Blow". Inspired, he sets out into the world to seek his fortune, since people think he killed seven men with one blow. Finally, he marries a princess.
