Lou Torrey is a dedicated plainclothes cop, who was transferred from New York to Los Angeles for being abusive with suspects. The dubious mafioso Vescari hires a group of Vietnam veteran sharpshooters to assassinate his opposition. Little does he know that one man, Torrey, has made plans to stop him.
