Summary:
U.S. Treasury agents Mercer, Brady and Russo mount an undercover operation around a dingy Hollywood motel. However, the bust goes wrong when Russo is shot dead and his $10,000 buy money is stolen by Ronnie, an impressionable young crook in league with Red Diamond, a dapper con artist just released from jail. Because of the fatal snafu, Mercer is reassigned from L.A. to Newark. He holds out for one week's time to catch the killers; coincidentally Red Diamond has been given a week to find the $50,000 he owes gangster Tony Dio. Battling his own depression, Mercer relentlessly pursues the murderers in cold and methodical fashion.
