Story
The story of two agents of Assassin's Elite, a secret mercenary organization working for Com-Teg: Communications Integrity Associates (CIA for short).
George Hansen, bribed by an unknown hostile group, kills the man he was supposed to protect, and also injures his partner Mike Loken in the knee and elbow as part of the deal.
Having become a cripple for life and already anticipating the end of his career, Loken goes through a long rehabilitation and receives a new job from a liaison officer (Cap Collis) from Com-Teg. The goal of the assignment is to protect the client of a major Asian politician (Young Chun). This mission also gives him the opportunity to take revenge on Hansen, who is a member of the team that is supposed to kill the client.
Loken, by the time he learned the martial art of owning a cane, hires a pair of his comrades (Miller and Mack). It subsequently turns out that the mission was a prepared trap that included an internal power struggle between the directors of Com-Teg, Collis and his boss Wayborn. It turns out that Collis is playing a double game - it was he who hired Hansen to kill Young Chun. His goal is to get two fees - for protecting Yong Chun from his company and for his liquidation - from an Asian terrorist organization.
Hansen takes on the fly 18-year-old daughter Young Chun, but he dies at the hands of Miller. Loken reveals Collis' game. He offers a large sum so that Loken does not interfere with the elimination of Young Chun. Collis cynically jokes: "Asian politicians are expensive." But Loken is well aware that he and his comrades can be removed as unnecessary witnesses.
In the final scene, a battle takes place between a hostile Asian group on one side and Loken and his comrades on the other on board an abandoned ship in the port. One and a half dozen Asian mercenaries were killed, but Miller was shot dead in the fray. Loken wounds Collis and takes a large sum envelope from him. On a boat Collis he and Mack sail from the States to relax somewhere on the tropical islands [1] .
