In midtown Manhattan, Mike Hammer is recovering from a near-fatal mix-up with the Mob when he runs into drug dealers assaulting a young hospital messenger. He saves the kid, but the muggers are not so lucky. Hammer considers the matter over and done with until he's the victim of a street--corner knife attack.
With himself for a client, Hammer and his beautiful, deadly partner Velda take on the narcotics racket in New York just as rumors are running rampant about a massive heroin shipment due any day. In a New York of flashy discotheques, swanky bachelor pads, and the occasional dark alley, Hammer deals with doctors, drug addicts, and hit men - meeting changing times with his timeless brand of tough-guy vengeance.
