Ricco Aversi (Chris Mitchum -- Summertime Killer) emerges from a short prison sentence to find that Don Avito (Arthur Kennedy -- The Tough Ones), the ruthless smuggler who murdered his father, has also stolen his girlfriend. With the help of the ravishing petty thief, Scilla (Barbara Bouchet -- Don't Torture a Duckling), he makes his way through the dastardly cast of characters who betrayed him in a legendary fury of blood-drenched vengeance!
