Police Inspector Betti (Franco Nero lookalike Maurizio Merli in his third appearance as the character) battles a crime syndicate in Turin who use planted hostages as a getaway technique. Later, they stoop to taking a school bus full of children as hostages, hiding them in a country farmhouse. Betti convinces them to take him as hostage instead, saving most of the kids. They dump him on a nearby highway, but he survives. Later, Betti is framed for killing one of the criminals in self-defense, and nearly killed in prison awaiting trial. He is cleared and released, but meets a tragic ending while going on a date. Fairly typical Eurocrime/poliziotteschi adheres to the genre staples of shootouts and car chases between the police and ruthless criminals on the streets of Italy.
