When a shipment of heroin disappears between Italy and New York, a small-time pimp in Milan is framed for the theft. Two professional hitmen are dispatched from New York to find him, but the real thieves want to get rid of him before the New York killers get to him to eliminate any chance of them finding out he’s the wrong man.

Good movie, but still doesn’t compare to Il Boss, my favorite of the three.
Silva isn’t the main character here; instead he plays a secondary character - an amoralistic, callous hired killer - who is tasked with tracking down and killing a nobody pimp who’s being framed for the theft of some heroin shipment. The plot is kind of a shambles, but some great action set pieces make up for it, including a long foot/car chase that’s epic and brutal.
Probably my second most liked of the Di Leo crime films.
I coined an alternate title for this movie: “Henry Silva Kills a Kitten.”
