Louis Thibadeau (Charles Durning), a decorated WWII hero, witnesses a murder by “cocaine cowboys” at his friend Paddie’s (Bert Remsen) diner. The cops want Thibadeau to testify, but his friend, Public Defender Cathryn Bolan (Pam Grier), fears that the drug dealers will kill Louis and his family. Durning tries to do the right thing while dodging attacks, but finally sets himself up as bait, sets traps throughout his home, gets out his WWII surplus weapons and goes back into stone cold killer mode to take out the trash.
