Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
A super-villain with no scruples at all starts off this complex, twisting, turning action film that continues its gyrations for more than two hours. The villain wants to wrest control of a large corporation from the Japanese mafia. To that end, he commits about every type of crime on the books, including trapping a woman into heroin addiction, dropping her once he has the information he wants, and then taking up with the daughter of the company's president. The vile cad gets his due from the woman he jilted, though that is not the end. At least, it is not his end yet and it is still only the beginning of the story.
