The London Detective Inspector Mitchell, known as "Mitch", pursues the criminals with merciless consistency. His hatred of them is passionately reciprocated in the underworld. One day his little son Ken is kidnapped. A stranger torments Mitch and his wife Ann with frightening phone calls. Obviously, it's not about money, he wants to see Mitch suffer and wants revenge. So he transmits the Bible quote to the concerned parents "For these are the days of vengeance ..." ( Lk 21:22 EU ). The search for the kidnapper turns out to be very difficult, because he makes his demands: withdrawal of all police officers, no further searches and immediate cessation of an explosive case.
