A doctor turned bounty hunter vies with Baretta to find the pusher responsible for the death of a banker's addicted daughter.

After philanthropist James Simpson is blown up in front of the Genios restaurant, an old friend of Baretta's — a recovered alcoholic — returns to his old haunts to help solve the murder case.

Baretta faces personal danger when he sets out to expose the local "Godfather" of a close knit Italian neighborhood.
