Stuart Whitman stars as police detective Tony Saitta in this action-packed thriller. He is a tough Dirty Harry-styled cop who will do anything to arrest those on the wrong side of the law. At a party Tony’s sister is poisoned and dies. Tony sets out to find the killer punching first asking questions later. One sequence has Tony fighting a group of karate-kicking transvestites who try to toss him off a skyscraper. Tony battles back and shoves a hot curling iron into the backside of one of the she-males. As Tony gets closer to the killer, more people wind up dead. Also stars Martin Landau, Gayle Hunnicutt, John Saxon, Tisa Farrow and Carole Laure.
