Synopsis
Director
Mike Vargas, from the Mexican Police Narcotics Department, is honeymooning on the border between Mexico and the USA with his new American wife, Susan. Soon to give evidence at a trial against several drug traffickers from the Grandi mob who have been arrested as a result of his investigations, Vargas gets caught up in another case when a car-bomb kills a rich American estate agent, surprising Hank Quinlan, a legendary local cop, while the latter is falsifying evidence to incriminate a Mexican citizen. Quinlan ends up joining forces with the Grandi's to get rid of Vargas.
