action
Major Jenkins saved the life of his subordinate Michael Ransom during the Vietnam War. Years later - Ransom is now a businessman in Manila - he is asked for help by Jenkins. But at first nobody seems to know anything about Jenkins' whereabouts. It takes some effort for him to break into the heavily guarded house where Jenkins is staying. While talking to him, a raid party storms the house; the guards are killed and Jenkins is kidnapped in a helicopter.
Ransom now learns from the ambassador that Jenkins previously worked for the CIA and has now been kidnapped by the KGB. He is being held in a camp on the border with Vietnam. Ransom is tasked with freeing Jenkins. The bar owner Rossana Boom, whom he meets, tries to deceive him. When the KGB people attack, she shows him the way to the camp. Ransomware manages to sneak in and makes a surprising discovery: the warehouse is a heroin laboratory.
With the help of his buddy Vic, whose life he sometimes saves, Ransom is able to identify and kill the drug boss after many dangerous situations and torments and retires into private life with Rossana.
Reviews
“What should you say? The film is not tailored to a specific audience, least of all the Italian one, but is one of those international productions aimed at the international and video markets. The physical and theatrical decline of old Richard Harris is remarkable. "
Remarks
The cast list leads Luciano Pigozzi under his regular pseudonym Alan Collins as "smuggler leader"; since he cannot be seen in the finished film, his scenes were probably deleted.
