Description
Fun-loving, Raz Jester, excels in sports and courting pretty girls at his small town high school, and takes boxing lessons from a Negro friend so he can defeat the school bully, Tank Zelder, who is making his life miserable. Following graduation, Raz changes his lifestyle when he falls in love and marries the daughter of a rich man who immediately disowns her. In spite of his new father-in-law's hostility, Raz believes he’s on top of the world with his pretty wife and baby until his wife gets involved with drug users and becomes an addict. Raz tries desperately to get his wife away from the drug crowd and off drugs, so they can make a good home for their little girl, but he fails. When his wife is murdered, the high school bully, Tank Zelder, now sheriff, refuses to find and arrest the killer because he and the police chief are on the drug gang’s payroll. So Raz sets out on his own to find the killer of his little girl’s mother, beginning his efforts by knocking down the sheriff so he can be sent to state prison where he and state narcotic officers believe he will get the evidence he needs from a convicted drug trafficker, Cato Hamilton. Raz is discharged with taped information from Cato and is anxious to find the killer, kick the butts of crooked local politicians, and find another wife so he can regain custody of his little girl. His renewed relationship with a former high school girlfriend offers real hope, but his fight with gunmen of the drug cartel costs him the lives of some close friends. It appears Raz will suffer the same fate when gunmen kidnap his little girl, leaving him no choice but to offer his life for her safe return.
