Plot

A Los Angeles hit man, Corrado, is given the task of eliminating the aging kingpin Vittorio Spinello. He readily accepts the job and is about to perform the hit when he is interrupted by Spinello's new nurse, Julia. He shoots the aging Spinello by accident, instead of suffocating him as intended, and flees the scene. Julia is wrongly blamed for the death, and is herself about to be killed by Vittorio's son Paolo, when Corrado rescues her. They are then pursued all over Los Angeles by Paolo and his goons in a bid to escape.
