A hit man (nicely played by Richard Romanus) shows up from Detroit and makes the first of many at tempts on Shaver's life. Before things settle down, the KGB, the CIA and the Mafia all get involved, and all, for their respective reasons, get sore at Shaver. Even his girl friend (Cristina Raines) grows testy. Shaver deals with all the vexations as best he can, with bluff and a little muscle, looking...
