Synopsis

Beautiful, seductive, and extremely dangerous Franca Tantardini is one of Italy's most ruthless political extremists. When she is captured in a shoot-out, her fanatical young lover Giancarlo Battestini vows to set her free and with quiet watchfulness waits for the moment to strike.

In Rome, a British businessman Geoffery Harrison has been taken hostage by a ruthless organized crime syndicate - kidnap is after all a growth industry. The British Government are adamant that they will not pay the two-million-dollar ransom and discharge responsibility to the Italian police. As political wrangling takes hold, Battestini sees a weakness and realizes that the only way to secure the release of his beloved Franca is to capture Harrison and bargain his life for hers.

The authorities are confronted with a terrible choice. Should they release a woman who has masterminded the murder of so many, or let an innocent man die?
