Precisely what Robert Mitchum is doing in Japan becomes a sticky point. Mitchum plays, rather snugly, a former private eye from California named Harry Kilmer whose pal Tanner (Brian Keith) calls an old marker on him. Tanner has promised to sell the Yakuza some guns but failed to deliver. In reprisal, the Yakuza has kidnaped his daughter and is threatening to kill...
