Reformed French criminal Corey (Alain Delon, Le Samouraï) is dragged back into the seedy underworld after a chance encounter with escaped murderer Vogel (Gian Maria Volonté,A Fistful of Dollars). Joined by the mysterious Jansen (Yves Montand, Jean de Florette), a former policeman with a chequered past, they plot a complex jewellery heist involving a wealthy mob boss. With Police Commissioner Mattei (André Bourvil, The Longest Day) on their case, he is determined to not only track down Vogel, but bust open the entire operation. (Umbrella Entertainment)
