Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Bruno Cremer plays a French Army captain, just released from prison. Model Marisa Mell gets Cremer mixed up in a planned airplane heist: the target is a monthly flight which transports 500 million francs from Paris to Bordeaux. Masterminding the robbery is the very man who was responsible for Cremer's arrest. The ex-captain pulls off the heist, but refuses to blow up the plane as ordered. It isn't that he's averse to murder; it's simply that he chooses to select his own murder victim--such as the man who sent him "up the river". This French/Italian coproduction ends with Cremer being mowed down by police bullets after settling the score with his old enemy.
