synopsis
Never released theatrically, this deflated actioner features the late Vince Edwards as Frank Lane, a drug boss hiding behind a dummy contracting business. Lane has come up with a scheme to secretly ship narcotics by using a touring country-music band as the unknowing transporters. He has two goons who help him out, but they are up against the wily Charles Dale (Richard Jaeckel and undercover Kelly (Julie Hill), the DEA agents out to bring down Lane's operation. Several chase scenes and country music songs later, Dale and Lane arrive at a climactic face-off.
