Film Synopsis
A young Frenchman, Thomas Chanard is employed in a French restaurant in New York. One day, he recognises one of his customers as the man who has just killed his wife and her lover. Realising that the man is the renowned hitman Gino Longua, Thomas flees in terror. As soon as he has packed his suitcase, he intends to take the next plane back to France. But he has two men on his tail: Hobbard, sent by the district attorney to bring Thomas back so that he can identify the killer, and Flaggert, sent by Longua to kill Thomas.© James Travers
