Synopsis
After killing a police informer, professional assassin Clint Harris decides to leave New York City and settle down on a farm. The syndicate that has paid him forces him into one more assignment, however: the murder of Secchy, an ex-gangster who has gone to Europe and undergone plastic surgery to escape detection. In Paris, Harris and his assistant Tony Lobello become involved with a pretty drug addict, Mary, who puts them on the trail of the man they are seeking. After tracking down and killing the victim, Harris discovers that they have murdered an impostor sent by the real Secchy. Mary is slain to prevent her from talking any further, and Secchy is shot down with his henchmen. Harris then learns that Lobello has been playing both sides and is out to murder him. When confronted, Lobello pulls a revolver on Harris, but Harris is quicker and kills Lobello.
