Former NFL star Fred Williamson (making his debut as a director) is Johnny Barrows, a soldier dishonorably discharged from the army. He returns home to encounter racism, violence, and an escalating mafia war. Naturally, a man with Barrows' rough background is hired as a mob enforcer. This brutal, blazing, blasting epic also stars Roddy McDowell, Stuart Whitman, and Elliot Gould.
