A hard-nosed cop (Maurizio Merli) is booted off the force when his methods of    dealing with corruption are deemed too brutal. But when a violent mafia boss     escapes from prison and reforms his gang, it becomes apparent that the           inspector's presence is sorely needed. Raymond Pellegrin, James Mason, and     Silvia Dionisio co-star in a ruthlessly cynical crime film from Giuseppe       Giuseppe Rosati---Italy---1976---92 mins.
