action
Captain Tony Saitta of the Ottawa Police Department receives a call from his sister Louise in Montréal, which he cannot answer as he is following fleeing bank robbers. Louise dies at a party where she sees Dr. Tracer, her teacher and doctor initially fainted. After the funeral, Saitta learns that Louise has been poisoned. Together with his partner Inspector Matt, he first arrests Tracer as a suspected murderer. When a transvestite dies with a photo of a piece of jewelry by Louise in his possession, the tide turns: the investigation reveals private entanglements and a reference to a gruesome murder in Ottawa in which Louise was obviously involved. After several interrogations, which take place with a lot of action, and assassinations of the blind friend Julie Foster, who suspects the connections, it turns out that Fred and the nymphomaniac Louise committed the robbery of Mrs. Wilkinson, but Louise was the one who committed the murder. Fred, who is fleeing by helicopter, is taken from the sky by Tony Saitta with his weapon.

If the lexicon of international film calls the work “glorifying violence”, Michael Cholewa notes that the film is “not sensational” and above all complains about the “super bad” portrayal of Whitman in the lead role.
Remarks

International titles of the film were u. a. Blazing Magnum and Strange Shadows in an Empty Room .
