Plot

Telly Savalas plays the role of police Lieutenant Pete Tolstad, a role very similar to his later title role on his TV series Kojak. Joe Don Baker is Mongo Nash, a professional killer hired by his brother, a gang boss, to wipe out a rival gangster, and the hit man is the one Tolstad must stop.
