Ex-con Eddie Pedak (Alain Delon) had vowed to keep his nose clean, taking care of his wife (Ann-Margret) and daughter as a San Francisco fisherman, and avoiding contact with his gangster big brother (Jack Palance). However, a vengeful cop (Van Heflin) won't stop his harassment─and when Eddie loses his job, he's got no choice but to get his hands dirty. Gritty crime drama co-stars Jeff Corey, Tony Musante. 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
