An elite team of plainclothes policeman are assigned to see that a murderous Mafia stoolie and his family make it safely from their Palermo home to the courts in Milan, where he plans to testify, in this Italian thriller. The man they escort is Mafia-attorney Leofonte, who recently had another informer killed for mentioning his name to the police. Now it is his turn to sing, hence the heavy guard consisting of three experienced cops, two female officers and two rookies. They must also insure that his wife and children are protected from retaliation. Unfortunately, despite the caution of the police, things do not go as planned and two of them plus the lawyer's family are slain. Now the lawyer and the others travel in fear that they too will be killed.
